He said he was returning to Australia "to live with widowed daughter", presumably at the address in Sue's post. Last in Australia in 1966. You can see the 1966 passenger listing (arrived 5 March 1966 on the Fairsky) in the National Archives too.

The widowed daughter is Marjorie HALL who is at 25 Frome Ave in various electoral rolls. She died in June 2013. Death and funeral notices on 3 June 2013 in "The Age".

Thank you. I saw the address on his "landing card", but never thought there would be a picture.

Kindest regards

I believe he landed on 08 Jun 1970 on the ELLINIS. It says he was last in Australia in 1966 according to his immigration card thingy.

I assume he was heading back to England for a visit in 1971 (July 14th) when he died but I can't find out what ship that was on.

Greenland is not a very common name in Australia.

I don't know whether you are aware that another of Joseph and Eliza's children was also in Victoria.

Joseph Henry jnr.  He was married to Ellen MILNE and they were in the suburb of Doveton from at least 1967 according to the electoral rolls.

Joseph died in 1990

Ellen died in 2007 according to Ryerson Index.

I wonder whether their offspring (if any) would have information to help you.

I have just spotted the  immigration indexing for Joseph Henry jnr on the National Arvhives search.
Their children are named and birth dates given.  I have removed them here.

I can PM them if needed.

Hi again,

The Joseph Henry in Victoria with his family I believe is his son (Born 16 Aug 1925 in Darlington).

I know JH senior went to Australia in 1966 with the intention of setting up residence there, but he must have returned to England as he re-entered Australia (on the ELLINIS) in 1970. His intention in 1970 was to reside with his widowed daughter (Marjorie HALL). Her husband (Colin HALL) died sometime between 1964 (when he and Marjorie emigrated) and, presumably 1970 when she is listed as a widow.

I don't know why he was back on board a ship returning, to,presumably England in July of 1971 but it was on that ship that he suddenly died. I have no idea of the name of the ship. The name of the ship is really what I am trying to discover.

Thank you for all the info. Very useful.
Kindest regards
Kevin Ferguson
