Would someone be able to do a Australia Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Look -Up for me please.
The person I am interested in is George Hiron born 15.March.1840 in Cheltenham Gloucestershire he may have travelled to Australia in 1856.
Thank you.

Well that could have been an interesting birth!
Thank you Maddie, So George and Mary Anne must have travelled back & forth from Australia & England.

This hobby is never dull.

There are several George Heron in the records, but none fit your dates.

Well thats promising. I believe that George's older brother Henry worked as a Cooks Mate on a ship that went to Australia in 1856 when it arrived Henry disappeared, until his death was registered in 1901, I wondered as George married in Oz in 1863 if he had travelled with or about the same time as Henry.

if the tree on ancestry is corecct daughter May born on board ship
1867 28 May

had a look for passenger lists but can't find anything.
It seems the ship may have been a fast clipper ship

Thank you Andy I knew that he arrived about 1856 and died in Victoria in 1901 and his occupation was a "Baker" but know nothing about what he was up to in between.
If he is the same Henry he is a bit of a naughty boy.... he left England in Sept 1856 had married in 1854 and his wife gave birth to a daughter in Oct 1856.

Thank you Chris, This Henry is also from Gloucestershire but not the one I have been researching, This Henry was from Chipping Camden I think and It appears that in the 1880's he owed about £45,000 and after that had some sort of breakdown and was committed to Gladesville Asylum in Sydney. I don't know exactly how long he spent there, but he appears in the Directories of Sydney from 1895 to 1912 when he died. He married into a very high powered family, his wife's father being Sir William Montagu MANNING who was a Judge and amongst other positions he held was that of Chancellor of Sydney University.
