Hi again guys
The hunt continues, and info is still filtering through. However, I am having trouble trying to find any shipping information for the family both sailing from England, and arriving in Australia. I have a record for the unassisted immigration of THOMAS PICKHILLS, as crew on the "Liguria" in 1880 from London to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney (he could have disembarked at any of these, but to date no further record of him). Also local records for GEORGE RICKINSON SWAN PICKHILLS travelling as crew on the "Tasmania" from Hobart Town (Tasmania) to Sydney in 1858, and him travelling from Melbourne to Port Adelaide (South Australia) on the "Coorong II" in 1863. I also know that ELIZABETH PICKHILLS (Mrs E Pickhills) emigrated back to England on the "Massilia" in 1892, including a notification of a stop-over at Brindisi in Italy. But that is all I have been able to find. In total, 5 members of the family have either emigrated or travelled to Australia in the mid to late 1800s, and i can't find a record for any of the leaving England. Living in Yorkshire and Lancashire, i sort of made a supposition that they may have left from Liverpool, though could have travelled to London as Thomas did. the people I am trying to track coming out here are;
GEORGE RICKINSON SWAN PICKHILLS - would have travelled here (possibly emigrated) around the 1850s
FREDERICK WILLIAM PICKHILLS - the above's brother, would have travelled here (possibly emigrated) around 1870s/1880s - I know he got his Mates certificate here in 1883, and that he married here in 1886.
CLARA PICKHILLS - the above's sister, we know got married in Launceston, Tasmania in 1891, though whether she emigrated to Tasmania or otherwise there is no indication to date.
CHARLES EDWARD PICKHILLS - the above's brother was visiting his brothers here in 1869 when he fell overboard from a steamer on the Murray River and drowned
ELIZABETH PICKHILLS - the above's mother emigrated out here sometime after her husbands death in 1862. We know that she was arrested for using indecent language in a public place in Goolwa, South Australia in 1887, and that she emigrated back to England (as stated earlier) in 1892.
If anyone can help me find the record for any or all of these leaving England, or tell me where best to search it would be appreciated. All my searches to date have come up with nothing.
