Passenger from Australia October 1851..Benjamin Bray
Tweet
I know most passenger lists collate those moving the other way but does anyone know of any records of passengers departing (possibly) Melbourne in October 1851. A Benjamin Bray travelled on the paddle steamer "Shamrock" from Tasmania in October that year bound for London and I assume he had to tranship at Melbourne or Sydney?
Anyone know if any passenger arrival lists for London early 1852 exist?
Many thanks
Dave

The Public Records Office of Victoria keeps some records. I have had a look and could not find him though. Here is the link

If I have the Right Benjamin Bray he was still in Hobart in 1852 when his son died.

Brilliant sleuthing everyone..Many many thanks.I had made an assumption that the London shown on his departure record from launceston in October 1851 was his ultimate destination after Melbourne. It was in fact the name of the ship he was on when he arrived in Tasmania originally.
Re: Passenger from Australia October 1851..Benjamin Bray
Thanks everyone, referring to the Victoria Archives it would seem that Benjamin did stay around Melbourne..died in Chilroddon? in1877 having had 10 children with Mary.
Re: Passenger from Australia October 1851..Benjamin Bray
Having gone through the Victorian A-Z it would seem that Benjamin Bray died in Strathloddon District at a hospital in Castlemain Borough in County Talbot. His son resided in Chewiton.
