Hi all,
I'm trying to pick up the trail of my Great Aunt, Louisa Harriett Hazell
Known details:
DOB: 01 Dec 1864 Chelsea, London, England
Emigrated to Australia: Departed London on the Star of Bengal bound for Melbourne on 23 Apr 1874. Arrived 14 Jul 1874.
Her father died onboard so her and her brother were classed as wards of the state upon arrival in Melbourne. Newspaper articles indicate that they faced Sandridge Police Court numerous times charged as 'neglected children'.
I have been able to visit the PROV office and look at her record, which I have attached below.
