Am looking for birth and/or immigration records for my g/grandfather, Bernard Phillips, who was born c1843 in Ballaghaderreen, Co Mayo.
Bernard lived in Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia from 1853 to 1918 where he died at aged 75 of a "senile heart". From his death certificate I was able to piece together his place of birth and his year of birth, but have been unable to find any immigration records or confirmation of his birth. His father is listed as Patrick Phillips, and his mother as Ellen Tansey.
Any help would be appreciated.
