Home They came by ship - Assisted Immigrants who arrived 1848Passenger lists - NSW lists as families or singles, Victoria has age of individual, or C=child, A=Adult.Some are not on both lists, people slip between the lists - Vic includes crew and maybe the paying passengers. I indicate if I have viewed the fiche containing photographed images of the Returns of Passengers. This is sometimes difficult, maybe impossible (lovely word - 'illegible') and frustrating when people are so important they are listed as Mr and Lady, when I want the forenames. | |||
