If he died in Queensland - his death certificate would show how many years in Australia - which would help work out when he arrived.  If you don't have the certificate maybe someone can do a look up for you.

http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/research/index/immigration.asp#immigrationindexes  is the Qld lists for - 1848 - 1884.

Hi Moira

Do you know if your man came alone - or with his family. Have you found him on any census (81, 91) in England. The online indexes only cover to 1884 and are for assisted immigrants only. There are many more records in the "card files" at the Qld archives (if he immigrated through Queensland).

There are 2 children listed on the CD to 1914 - do you have these details?
