There is a german site: http://gedbas.genealogy.net/index.jsp where german researchers upload their family trees.
Try entering your name(s) here and go through the results. Sometimes a name will jog memories

Thanks for the tip Bob, I put a name in, a tree popped up and i emailed the contributor & it turns out we are 3rd cousins living on opposite ends of the globe...Amazing hey!!

Its interesting that he was staying at a hotel as family folklore suggests Mr Wells was a publican!!!...More than pouring beers i gather...Thanks for the help...

I found a Mr Wells on the ship Gothenburg in Sept 1863 to Melb.  Is there any way of finding out his name & age?

Now im totally confused...lol...Wonder why they have Wells as the middle name as we are ancestors of George so dont know now if we are actually Manton & not Wells... Im sure from Philip onwards she had them with Henry Wells, as he is listed as father on death certs, but was maybe still married to Manton so listed Manton as father??

This Matilda was born in 1841 & married Elijah Manton in 1856/57 as they had 2 children but must have divorced as she had her 3rd with Henry Wells in abt 1867 plus many more...They married 1888 moved to Sydney abt 1880 with her Manton children as well...I just cant find anything about them arriving in Australia which is strange

I am having trouble finding ancestors arrival in Melbourne from UK...Henry Philip Wells b.1835 came in the 1860's & Matilda Herbert in the 1850's...Matilda Herbert did marry Elijah Manton but i dont know what happened to him as she moved onto Henry Wells thereafter...Would really love to know any details of their immigration... Thanks Heaps  ;D
