Yes Jacqueline, but it was irrelevant when there are incoming lists in other countries which may help.

Marie

If you check, you will see I referred to EMIGRATION, which, by definition, is OUTGOING.

Might help you get further back?

Wow they had 9 children together in Geelong!
:-)

Both are buried at Geelong Eastern Cemetery (COE). Mercy died in 1921 and Edward in 1904. Let me know if you'd like death reg details. I can't see his arrival I'm afraid.

From NLA Trove

Jacqueline, surely that's only the UK outgoing passenger lists that start at 1890? Other countries have incoming passenger lists from much, much earlier.
