Many thanks Neale.

I did a search for passenger lists but drawn a blank.

It is interesting to see they had their two young daughters with them. Peter must have followed later.

The ship Colonial Empire is an interesting vessel too. I couldn't imagine 140 days sailing to Australia.

An interesting document showing a Report of Survey For Repairs. The month before sailing!

Again such a lot of information for me to sift through and hopefully bring it all together to make one picture.
