Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me please. I'm searching for info. regarding my Great Grandfather Joseph Shirley who came out to Queensland, Australia aboard the ship "Ramsay" in 1873 with his wife Emma and family - Joseph and Emma's ages were recorded as 42 years. I had thought that Joseph was born circa 1828 and that his father's name was William and his mother was Eliza Gibbs. However I have a death record of Joseph from the Justice Dept. Qld. BDM as 1904 - father Joseph and mother Elizabeth Baker. I thought that Joseph was born in Oxfordshire as that is where my Grandfather Harry and siblings were born and the family was recorded in various census records as Oxfordshire, before coming out to Queensland. The only record I could find of Joseph Shirley in the 1851 census is Joseph Shirley born 1828, Prisoner, in Little Missenden, Bucks.
I've struck a brickwall - would really appreciate help.
Thanks heaps
Margie (nee Shirley)
