In Response To: Re: Australian Emigrants 1839- ()

Hi Everyone , the NSW state records site ( www.records.nsw.gov.au) now has Bounty Immigrants 1838 to 1896 ships arrivals documents online FREE . Bounty immigrants were Land Owners paying for immigrants to come to Australia to work their lands . It includes some who went to Victoria and Queensland before those states seperated from NSW . It is easy to print whatever you find .
As far as I have seen , no ships came directly to Australia from the IOM , they would have come from Liverpool , Southhampton , Plymouth or London . Although some ships did come directly from Scotland , but they appear to be only Highlanders from the "clearances"
I can help anyone who wants more information .
