Hi,
I am finding it very hard to drill down into passenger lists for Limbert,
unassisted imigrants to Australia from UK in the 1850 - 1870"s. Some list
show Limbert but then I can't find the ships etc.

Any help appreciated. Specific names include John Charles Limbert, Charles
John Limbert.

Kind regards,
Sue Limbert
