Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 149 Send Message	Samuel and Sarah Derbyshire , children Leslie and Wilfred , emigrated to Australia in 1911 ( Entry in Family Bible). Can anyone please help me find the ship/destination? Also John and Eliza Watts and daughter Gladys sailed in Aug 1911. Eliza and Sarah were sisters so they may have gone together. Thanks
