Hello Lyn

Your GRIFFITHS family appears to have arrived on the "Chance" in
Victoria in Sep 1857....

Edward (45), Amy (49) and children Elizabeth (22), Jane (17), Joseph
(14), George (12), Thomas (8) and Richard (4)

John (who died in 1859) must have arrived on a different ship,
perhaps as eldest he may have arrived before 1857?

Many of the above appear to have married and were also in the Belfast
and later Warracknabeal areas of Victoria where various chn were born.

See the assisted shipping online at PROV...
