A lot of passenger lists have not yet been transcribed. And I somehow think that there are ships where passenger lists do not survive. I have found most of my immigrant rellies (including some that were mistranscribed) but there are a few that just don't seem to be 'in the system'.

You may find this thread of interest - far from complete but you may get lucky:

i actually need something from 1885 to 1888 England to Australia so i guess the UFO is the only way that they came

Hi Debbie
Sorry, but I have no expertise in emigration or passenger lists etc. Just that I stumbled upon the ozships site and thought it might be useful to others.

Hi Cassie

The info i have is as follows
William Penny born1859 and his wife Emma born 1861 who married 25/12/1884 in Redbourne, Hertford, England
would have left c1885 with at least 1 child possible 2 as Emma had a child before they married called Beatrice born 1883,Redborne, Hertford, then they had Elizabeth of which i can find no record of birth for her any where people from this forum have found another Elizabeth born to William and Ann she is not mine,the next child was born in Australia called Lilly she was born in 1888, in Queensland, Australia, and that is all i know, i may have to get Emma's death cert as she died in 1926 in Queensland before her husband and it may tell me how long she was in the colony for which would give me a closer time fram
