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.

Interestingly this death schedule gives the address of Ann Clark as Pakenham Street, Echuca. But the house numbers don't appear to be included unless the single digit numbers in the first column are they? If not is there a way of finding the actual house number?

Hi.
I'm not sure which single digit numbers you mean, but I see times such as 6 am in that column after the registration number, hers being 2440.

Hi Sue.

Yes that number. At first I couldn't read the squiggle by the number then like you I thought it read a.m.

Knowing the street name was a find and there are a couple of old photos to be seen. I was hoping to pinpoint them even further with the house number but as yet I havn't been able to find it.

many thanks
