Alphabetical List of Surnames

[Some lists only]

Lists are gradually being transcribed. You can search our alphabetical lists of nearly 30,000 names to find a journey date. If the name you are seeking is not listed and you have an approximate date, use the Passenger Lists which often provide additional information such as occupation, age and intended address in Australia.

Alphabetical lists can be accessed on the next page.

Please note that not all lists have yet been transcribed.

The lists are free to access;
First, second and Third class passengers are sometimes listed separately;
Passengers who boarded at ports between the UK and Australia are usually listed at the end;
Lists are not strictly alphabetical, some are listed by port of embarkation;
Passengers who disembarked in WA are sometimes also on the Passenger Lists for Melbourne;
Some lists contain passengers' occupations and others include an address in Australia;
Read the footnotes; some lists have illegible or missing pages. The site owner bears no responsibility for this.
