Where can I get copies of applications for emigration in 1960 Or copies of sponsorship documents
Hi Roslyw12,
Thanks for your question.
The best place to start is our RecordSearch database ( Home page | naa.gov.au), you can search in the general or advanced search screen, using the name of the person you are looking for.
If you do not have any luck with this, you can complete the following form, and one of our Reference officers will assist with your search.
Immigration records inquiry form - RefTracker (naa.gov.au)
Thanks,
Leslie
Hi Leslie
Thankyou for your response
My Mother Edith Annie Watson
My sister Ray Lester Watson
And myself Roslyn Lynette Watson
All traveled to Australia in the SS Orsova leaving Tilbury on the 20/03/1960 Arriving Melbourne 16/4/1960
I believed we sponsored by my mothers cousin Arnold Burke who lived at
Eumerrella Rd Sth Caufeild I think no 27
When I try Passenger arrivals I get No records match
Ideally I would like to get copies of all paperwork pertaining to my families immigration
Hope you can help
Thankyou
Kind Regards
Roslyn McLean nee Watson
