Good Morning Everyone
I have found the following information regarding HONORA PURCELL. Honora's mother's name was Margaret Purcell nee Ryan. Margaret & Richard married on 18th February 1819 at Loughmore and Castleiny Ireland. Parish Variants Castleiny, Casteleiny, Loughmoe, Loughmore. Diocese Cashel & Emly. I have Baptism Certificates for Margaret, (their Daughter) Baptism took place 20th 1839 & Nicholas Baptism 18th Sept 1834. I cannot find any Birth/Baptism documents for Richard, John, Ann or Honora. I have Australian Death/Funeral documents for Honora, Ann, Nicholas, John & Richard (their son). I cannot find any information on when they arrived in Australia, if they arrived individually or as a family unit. Any information will be truly appreciated. A HUGE THANK YOU!!! in anticipation. Kaye

Just a thought... One of my distant relatives went to Australia and then on to New Zealand. Might your family have done it the other way round? I don't know what records exist which might record incomers from NZ, but someone else might? pwholt

Finding people in passenger indexes can be dependent on their economic status. Poorer passengers with an assisted passage were carefully documented. People who did not qualify for assistance, ie, could pay for their own passage, were less well documented. If this was the case, they might be hiding as Mr & Mrs Purcell and infant or something like that.
Another way of seeking new arrivals is in the Trove newspapers. Missing persons columns often have message from or for relatives and friends already in the colony so they can catch up with each other (everyone seemed to be on the move during the gold rush), and this often mentions a ship. Or you might find them mentioned with the latest shipping arrivals. Use the buttons on the left of Trove to narrow down your time frame.
There was a LOT of coastal shipping at this time, and they may have arrived elsewhere - Tasmania, South Australia, New Zealand as has been mentioned, New South Wales, so take a broad approach to passenger indexes. I think there are some coastal passenger indexes for Victoria if you look at PROV.
