Dear all,
Hope someone can give some advice on where my research should turn to.
My Grandfather's Uncle, Edward Donohue, was baptised at Terryglass outside Nenagh, North Tipperary in Ireland in 1842. He appears as a godfather for his niece in 1869 and then, we are told, he "went to Australia".
And so he did, as I've found his death record in Queensland there in 1922. However, I'm unwilling - for now - to pay the quite exorbiant price for it and I was wondering whether there might be some gaps I could fill in a little more...cheaply!
Namely, I was wondering if anyone knew whether any of the Australian censuses are accessible, or if it's easy to get hold of information on boats going from Ireland to Australia and the passengers therein. I've been through a few of these records - and the Trove site - but to no avail whatsoever.
So...any suggestions...?
