Australia / Re: Rail Services to Perth 1955
« on: Sunday 19 May 24 04:04 BST (UK) »
Back in 1955, the train journey between Melbourne and Perth took approximately 2 days and 5 hours. However, there were transfers involved. Travelers departed from Southern Cross station in Melbourne and arrived at Perth via Adelaide Parklands.
The Trans-Australian Railway, which began in 1917, radically shortened travel and communication time.
Mail delivery from Adelaide to Perth was cut by two days, and eastbound travelers who took the train arrived in Melbourne three days earlier than those making the journey by ship

Australia / Re: WA: Henry GREEN (alias Charles Henry QUICK), Born 1844, Middlesex
« on: Saturday 02 September 23 04:45 BST (UK) »Hi BAC3,
It would appear that Henry Green sailed to Newcastle, New South Wales on 14 April 1873 as a passenger on the "Belle Isle" from Albany W.A.
On 1 May 1873 the "Belle Isle" lost her mainsail during a gale out to sea from Sydney and begun to sink. The ship sunk but luckily all lives were saved and all on board were taken to Newcastle.

Hi BAC3,
Likely to be your man.
Henry Green & Charles Woodward (both names listed on the Lincelles and both on Tickets Of Leave) were convicted of Burglary in Perth, W.A and sentenced to 3 years jail.
On the same day they were both charged with having counterfeit coins in their possession and given another 3 years.
(The Perth Gazette 27 June 1862). Look on TROVE.
Regards,
John.

« on: Wednesday 21 June 23 01:30 BST (UK) »
Could I ask for assistance in the translation of the Emigration document attached.
In particular. the Commune, Profession and Depart.
On her arrival in Fremantle aboard the Cathay (24.3.1930), Marguerite Victoria Friederich gave her occupation as Governess.
She was born England (1905) and educated in Switzerland and I am trying to find more information on her whilst she was there. She could have been in Switzerland c1915-1930.
Thanking you,
John.
