  • Where do I look for Emigration to Australia

    Does anyone know if there are any records for the late 1920's through to pre WW2 that I can search to prove my great gransfather's brother moved to Australia?

    Thanks,

    FindmyPast have Passenger Lists for people leaving the UK 1890-1960.

    Ancestry also have emigration records, which includes some Australian records.

      If you check the Wiki in the 'Australian' section, there are numerous links you could look through to see if your man arrived here. The National Archives has online data which give some passenger arrivals and war records.

                Would he have been on his own, or with a wife and children? If so, can you post their names too?

                  He's not listed on the Australian online electoral rolls, which go up to 1954, although South Australia isn't included.

                    thank you for looking - I don;t have this information - will see if my mother knows and post again next week.

                    However, the 1911 census says;

                    HOLBROOK, Arthur Head Married M 33 1878 Mason Bishopston Bristol
                    HOLBROOK, Annie Arnold Wife Married 9 years F 34 1877 Curry Rival Somerset
                    HOLBROOK, Doris Emily Daughter F 7 1904 Bishopston Bristol
                    HOLBROOK, Thomas Henry Son M 5 1906 Bishopston Bristol
                    HOLBROOK, Fredrick ArthurSon M 4 1907 Bishopston Bristol

                    So good chance went with wife annie at the very least.

                      Can't see any sign of them - where did the information about them going to Australia come from?

                          Doris E Holbrook / Rice / Oct-Nov-Dec 1924 / Bristol / Gloucestershire, Somerset

                            Thank you.

                            The information is from my mother talking about her grand fathers brother - Can't go into details for the reason why as its a public forum -let's just say there was a family dispute.

                              I wonder if this could be Arthur's death?


                              Bath Death indexes for the years: 1969
                              Surname / Forename(s) / Age / Sub-District / Registers At / Reference


                              HOLBROOK / Arthur Charles / 90 / Bath B - First Series / Bath / BB1/B4B/290



                              His son Frederick's death is listed in Bath D district.

                              If the parents went to Aus, this would mean Arthur at least came back; I can't find him or Annie in the incoming passenger lists to the UK, but they only go up to 1960.

                                thank you for all your work I don't think Arthur was a charles and there is an Arthur Charles born in Kent around 1878 which is defo not my guy. However its defo worth looking at so will get the certs and see what it says - thanks for your help.

                                  If they migrated to Australia after 1921 an before 1950, you might (should) be able to find their migration records at the National Archives website (National Archives of Australia). But I cannot see anything. You could also try NZ. There was a family of three Mstr Holbrook, one Mrs and one Miss on the ORONTES in 1924, but no first names recorded. Found a possible marriage (on freebmd) for Doris E Holbrook in Bristol in early 1920s, so don't know for sure.
