Thanks for your feedback.
At the moment our focus is on migrating content from other NAA websites into the new corporate website. However, I have passed your feedback onto the relevant team here for consideration.

It mentions that they have left the Depot at Townsville and have work in town i.e. it does not sound as…"
Sylvia replied to Therese Schier's discussion interstate travel 1880s"Got them ... also debarking at Townsville"
Sylvia replied to Therese Schier's discussion interstate travel 1880s"Not really an answer, but can I confirm that this is the Lingard family as they were with a party of 8? This family seems to have left the ship in Townsville.

Sylvia replied to Jeffrey William Cowie's discussion Cowie immigrants from UK 1800-1900"Jeffrey,
Your question is currently a bit too broad as there are so many separate sources depending on state/ dates/ assisted (or not) etc. Could you please narrow your question and/or (- even better -) give name(s) and other details like…"
Sylvia commented on FLORENCE SWINTON's blog post SEARCHING FOR WILLIAM BRIGGS FOR LAST 40 YEARS"I understand that you first heard about William abt 1950 and that a remark was made that he’d gone to another country, so I’m trying to understand the timeline between 1911 and 1950 and therefore have a number of questions 1. The…"
Sylvia replied to Fiona Jones's discussion Passport records from 1930s"Maybe an "passenger departure inquiry" might be an option as it might prove nationality (don't be amazed if it shows "british citizen"): https://reftracker.naa.gov.au/reft100.aspx?key=02PassDep"
Sylvia replied to Fiona Jones's discussion Passport records from 1930s"PS here is a NAA guide to available passport records: http://guides.naa.gov.au/more-people-imperative/chapter12/passport-identity-records.aspx"
Sylvia replied to Fiona Jones's discussion Passport records from 1930s"This is not what you are asking for, but I had a bit of a look online and wondered whether this whole passport vs citizenship situation is not really straightforward as Australians were already British citizens in the 1930's:
“Australian…"
Sylvia commented on FLORENCE SWINTON's blog post SEARCHING FOR WILLIAM BRIGGS FOR LAST 40 YEARS"Hi Florence,
I know that your William was born in Porthill, Staffordshire and that his birth was registered in the second quarter of 1906 in district Wolstanton. However, you must have realised that there are a great deal of William Briggs…"
Sylvia commented on FLORENCE SWINTON's blog post SEARCHING FOR WILLIAM BRIGGS FOR LAST 40 YEARS"I had a bit of a bad feeling re the William Briggs on the Hobson’s Bay because he was 2 years older than your “William”, so I had a closer look at his immigration data … The following contains the ship's file relating…"
Mi Tasol replied to Sylvia's discussion Missing items on recently upgraded NAA site"Hi Sylvia
I suspect that if the NAA staff had read your recent two posts (October 28, 2019 at 19:15 and Dec 5) instead of browsing them that the SODA link problem would have leaped out and bit them on the nose.
In both the links you provided by…"
Sylvia replied to Michel's discussion French emigrant to Australia"Hi Michel,

Elizzbeth said… - Hi Sylvia, many thanks for your information on Florence Hunter, her Father was Presbyterian, her Mother Catholic. Florence was raised Presbyterian, however family suspect she may have converted to Catholicism.
I have mistyped her 2nd time to Australia, if it is correct, it would have been 1948 aboard the Ormonde. I will try and pursue the probate information that you gave me, Florence appeared to have a moveable date of birth, she was born in 1902, however at times her birth year has been recorded as 1905 and once as 1909. Thank you so much
