Thanks Ashleigh and Ruskie,
As you are about to discover I really am a bit of a dunce. I have accessed the two links and I did manage to find a list with Joseph Walsh on the passenger list (which is possibly the one you have). So - so far, so good. However I am not sure how to private message you ?1/
to double check.
Also how do you access the 'Index to Ships' that you referred to ?
Also you mentioned microfilche film and the reference numbers COL/A45 63/2488 as being the Health Officers Report (I believe my family lost their 2 year old on the trip over and would like to find out why and/or how).
I have been into the Archives in Canberra and asked there about these references and they couldn't help. Are they pertinent only for Brisbane ?!?
I am amazed at what I have been able to find so far but am now interested in getting the paperwork to back it up and fill in personal details.
Thanks for the fast reply
