Hi John,
Actually I am a Victorian now in exile in QLD. I shall have a look at the
site you suggested and see what I can learn either way.
The gentleman I am after as George CAMPBELL and according to his marriage
cert of 1873 he was listed as a sailor. I have no idea what type of sailor.
It's a start anyway.
Thanks,
Peter

so understand that I cannot come down there (until holidays) and check, but
knowing where to go would be a good start. Other family members were born in
Little River in 1853 which would hopefully be relatively easy to research.
