PipZ,

One record shows an L Lumby travelled steerage on the "Adelaide" arriving Albany Western Australia from Melbourne on 16th February 1897 and bound for Fremantle.

Note: The handwriting for the surname LUMBY is distinct and I think the initial is an "L".

Regards
Gerry

Sue,

Nice find, it points to Lucas Lumby especially with the "recently arrived" and his age plus being at Coolgardie which was mining country.

The passenger record that I saw for February 1897 that had L Lumby were listed as English miners & artisans.

Oh, good find sue!

That would seem to be him, I agree.

No-one named LUCAS SEEMILY died in 1897 and I can see how SEEMILY can be derived from LUMBY in the old handwriting as I know it.

Thank you again All, so kind.I did see an L. Lumby sailing to Albany but that was all so that all adds a bit more info. I'm sure Lucas Seemily is Lucas Lumby,it seems to fit. He seems to have chosen a hard life when he came from a family of auctioneers and farmers unless he had a clerical job.

    Thanks again,
          Pipz.  :)
