Ship index from the Victorian Government Gazette - Australia, 1853

         from the Victoria Government Gazette, Australia - 1853

              ©1853 Government Gazette, Victoria, Australia

                  Researched & Compiled by Jenny Fawcett

              ---------------------------------------------



Many years ago when first researching my family I made a database of names 

that where from the Government Gazette for Victorian, Australia.  It is the 

equivalent of 100 pages of alphabetical index for the year 1853 - and 

consists of unclaimed shipping lists, notices, deed grants, etc. 



I am happy to perform lookups if anyone is interested. Some of it just 

states 'John Jones - Baker', the page, and reference number. But a lot 

mentions what ship a person came on. So I will publish here: the names of 

the people, with shipping references, and if anyone else would like me to 

lookup a name I am free to do so. 



I would say that it mentions people from a wide range of places.. so feel 

free to ask for a name. I can only give you what I have - which will be 



     Surname

     Firstname

     year

     page no

     occupation OR place OR ship (or all three if possible)



     eg Abbot - George H - ex Natal came per Hannah. ref 1853 page 0071. 





I cannot tell you what the article is about - it may be a notice on someone 

looking for him - it may be unclaimed letter - it is a long time since I 

have done them, but if you check the Government Gazzette for that year and 

for that page number it will tell you more. Some of the articles were very 

informative. 



I will only publish the names and ship as ALL the references are 1853.
