Surname Search

More lists will be uploaded and transcribed as they become available. If the name you are seeking is not here and you have an approximate date of arrival, use the Passenger Lists (see below) to try to locate it.

The Lists

The lists provide a fascinating insight into life in the first half of the 20th Century. "Profession, Occupation or Calling" records such occupations as "L/Col. Br Army India", "Linotype Operator", "Millwright", "Women's Land Army" and "Warp Knitter".

Deaths at sea are also recorded, with Miss Annie Boylan ("age 62, domestic, female") sadly passing away due to "heat stroke" on the voyage which landed in Fremantle on the 15th June 1947.

Information about date and place of arrival in Australia has mainly been taken from the records held by the National Archives of Australia.

It is not uncommon for these dates to be slightly inaccurate: obviously ships often arrived later, or even earlier, than scheduled and it appears that the records sometimes do not match the date of arrival on the Passenger List. Dates of arrival in Australia have been noted below; please let us know of any inaccuracies by sending an email.

Unfortunately some lists are barely legible; they are taken from rolls of microfilm held by the NAA, which seem to be the only records available to the public.
