	They were contracted to travel to Melbourne

	They went under the £10 Assisted Passage Scheme. The National Archives site does not tell you where they went in Australia .............. it is probably Victoria, but possibly not ......... and of course it does not tell you whether they stayed there after the 2 year contract was up.

	David ................ you must have had a previous thread on this family??? Did you delete it? I found this thread with one post by JaneyCanuck (a blast from the past :-) )............ http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1269142?d=desc JaneyCanuck Report 22 May 2011 02:49 I have sent David details of passage to Australia showing names of wife and children, and of children's births. I also sent him links to the few possible white pages listings in Australia. I found that a relation of David's has posted on the internet looking for a relation of Albert's. I am posting this to inform any other regular members who may consider undertaking research to assist in that search.
