Assuming it was my g.g.grandfather Charles HALES who arrived in Melbourne on the "George Marshall" in Apr 1855, he must have returned to England between 1855 and 1857.
I've searched PROV's "Index to Outward Passengers to Interstate, UK, NZ and Foreign Ports 1852-1896", but there's no likely person there, unless it's the Charles HALE (19) on the "Swiftsure", Apr 1857 - though the age is badly wrong (it should be 34/35).
(The surname HALES was often mis-spelled: I've tried HAY*/HAI* etc, as well.)
I've also tried the other websites on RootsChat's "VICTORIA RESOURCES/Passenger Lists and Shipping" without success. Does anyone have any other suggestions for passenger lists from Melbourne to England between 1855-7, please?
