Passenger List 1922 - HEATHER

[Wendy09]

Just wondering if someone can help me too with a 1922 look Up please.  I have finally located the wife of my Great Uncle and she immigrated from London, England in 1922 to Brisbane, Australia. her name was Emily Rosina Heather and comes up as Emily Heather born 1898. If anyone has access to this sort of thing would be interested in name of ship and anything else available.  She appears to have travelled on her own as I couldnt find any other persons by the surname of Heather that year.
I live in NSW and everywhere I try on line to look for Qld entries you seem to hve to actually go to State Archives Office which is impossible for me, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Was HEATHER , Emilys' maiden name?.

Oh girls, you have been a great help. Yes, this is her.  I know HEATHER is a strange surname to have but yes it is Emily's surname.  The address given as her last address before embarking on the trip fits perfect too as North Shields was the location I had from 1901 UK Census. This is just so wonderful of both of you to find her for me.  Has brought her alive so to speak for me now.
I am trying to open our national archives file to find that entry Leanne you mentioned and I have been able to find the Ship you think was hers but only since 1930's not 1922.  Dont know what I am doing wrong in finding it. 
Anyway, just to have the ship name and dates of sailing are great.
I am slowly piecing her family together now (siblings in UK from census - at least location of residence and ages)
Pity I wasn't having more luck on this end in Australia with my G-Uncle - her hubby - but I am just pleased to have anything at all on this group of the family.
Many thanks for your help confirming her coming here to Australia.  Just brilliant
Kind regards

Sorry Leanne - Forgot to mention in prior email in answer to you

Yes HEATHER was Emily Rosina's Maiden name.  She married John Augustine DWYER on 24/12/1924
in the state of Queensland, Australia registration ID (1925/000268) - perhaps Brisbane

I think they may have had a son called John Augustine Dwyer too by about 1932 in Queensland Australia, but not sure it is a family match but going by the name would nearly have to be

when I opened the search box on NAA I put "Euripides"  in the search box and directly beneath it I put 1922 in the date box.
You are probably not doing anything wrong.
Emily is on page 118.
The marriage registration reference is prefixed with a "C" which indicates a marriage outside the Brisbane area.

there are 2 entries on:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nswsdps/dpsindex.htm

for a John Augustin DWYER, Deceased  2005,  with an age of 73 which = a birth year of approx. 1932

on the home page of the website you can go to the left hand side and there is an icon for requesting a look-up, open that and follow the instructions.
May not be yours but  it is worth a try.

further perusal of the Ryerson index brings up an entry for an Emily Rosina DWYER, deceased 1989 at Bankstown, NSW.
