I am looking for any information on Edward B Hopewell and his wife Shirley or children. He arrived in Australia with four of his children on the "New Australia" in 1957. I believe they went on to have two more children. Any information would be useful. Thank you. Judith Guy

I am researching the names on the First World War honour roll in Dowerin and I have men who served in both world wars: Thomas Richard Coxon N100073; Lesley Alexander McLachlan 39113; Ernest Reginald Trindall 7255. I need some help to access those records.

I also have: Thomas Bernard Kiely who has no digitised record and only 2 folios; Charles Werndly who has no digital copy and only 1 folio. Both of these records are held in Melbourne. Can I see them if I get there, and do I need to…

I have asked this question before on Record forum, but maybe somebody will be able to help me now having not seen this request last time.

I was here in Australia in 1948  and have my arrival date, but am unable to get my departure date.

I left Melbourne in 1949 , my name was Patricia Charmaine St George-Moore..  I was accompanied by my mother Mrs Noelle St George-Moore and my Grandmother Mrs Hilda Bessie…

First time at this & I'm not having any luck finding details  online of their arrival by ship from Nr Ireland  into Melb approx 1971-1973 & I don't think they travelled under the immigration scheme but paid their passage themselves.

 I would like to get details of their passports is this possible? as well as any other info relating to them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this
