Hi Lynette,

Do you know which of the colonies they migrated to?  Each of the six colonies maintained their own records.

Cheers,  JM

Hi
It would also help if we knew their dates of birth, approximately, where they were born. If you know where they settled and then where they died would help too. Just looking for James Burke in the 1870's I can see quite a few.

I believe James was the son of Peter & Bridget Burke, he was born 1851 in Coventry London. According to 1851 census.

There is mention of a James and Lucy Burke in NSW (newcastle) but of course he could be one of hundreds.

Hi
From a family tree, married 1870 in Coventry, their first child born in NSW is 1877 in Sydney so we are looking for an arrival most likely NSW between then.

Hi there,

 with no first name given for Mrs Burke its hard to determine if they are yours, hope it helps ?

The Alexandra was travelling from Melbourne to Sydney (in NSW) in 1873.
