Good morning Dianne
(resending Dianne - finally remembered how to forward to List - I hope!)
The SS Great Britain has an official website http://www.ss-Great-Britain.com
The ship has been towed back to Bristol and rebuilt and is now a registered
museum.
Lots of information here regarding its history etc., plus pics.
Another site, put up by the NEW family, is worth a visit. Has an
interesting passenger's diary. Do not have the URL to hand, but typing -
New Family Great Britain - into Google should get
Hi Dianne,
Thank you for your reply. I have found out that my
local library does have it in stock, so I will take it out and read it first
before I think about buying it. Thank you again for your reply.

I have an ancestor on my husbands side that must have worked at the Eureka Inn. His name is William Greenwood abt the 1850-60's.

Hi Dianne,
The "picture" you're thinking of - would that be the painting by Charles
Mackin of the Industrial School (which is what the Immigration Depot
became)? The original is in the Geelong Art Gallery but appeared in
different articles in the Addy - I think in their 150 years celebration
series which were reproduced in the book you mentioned. We have a copy of
the painting and permission from the Gallery to reproduce it in our Point
Henry arrivals books.

Hello Chris,
Anyone dying in Heidelberg may have been buried in Coburg Cemetery,
or wherever family were buried.
Hotham East was North Melbourne so the person may have been buried in the
Melbourne General Cemetery or again in the Coburg cemetery.
Good luck,
Doris

Thanks John, You may well be right that he has died in a hospital and just
been registered in that area, he was only 48 when he died.I suspect he was
not married, none on the index till 1920, his mother died the year before at
Footscray, I will write to them, have the address, she was widowed in 1899
so I suspect her son may have just stayed with Mum.
I appreciate your help, Chris.
Morning All,

Thank you Jan!!!

OOH---who just said " he was SENT to Australia for his health?"
That statement may aid me in my endeavor to find how, when and why my two
HILL brothers went there........That is about the timeframe I need as parents
died in 1853....or thereabouts.
Tell me more of your Rev Power's journey.

Joseph Dancey and wife Maria (nee Yeomans) migrated from London to Geelong in 1850's with children Mary Ann (who m.Francis Sire), William (m. Elizabeth Nash), Maria (m. William Cocking) and Joseph (m. Mary Ann Lofts). There may also have been a child called Albert. Joseph came first, on the "Star of the East" 1854 and the rest of the family came on "Black Eagle" in 1857. I also suspect that a brother of Josephs may have arrived at the same time as he did, maybe with him.

Dear Listers,
Is there anyone with any idea of where I should look to find the
possible adoption of a baby born onboard a ship in 1849. The baby's name was
Frederick Silk, and his young mother died 6 days after his birth on the
voyage to Australia. The Sir George Seymour landed at Point Henry in
Geelong. The father of the child was only 19 years of age at the time and
there is no sign of this child with the name Frederick Silk anywhere here in
Australia. What adoption opportunities were available in
Hi Christine - will see if there is a headstone and take a photo for you -
