I'm trying to find out when David Wallace Craig (born 1885 in Scotland) travelled to Australia. His mother Charlotte Ann Doole and 3 step sisters Margaret, Annie and Jane (Jean) travelled to Queensland, Australia from England on the 17th December 1913 on board a ship named Limerick. I know it was before 1926 as he was on the electoral register in 1925 Tia

a David Craig aged "24" and a Charlotte A Doole aged 49 are on the 1911 census at Camlachie
reference 644/2 28/11 - on Scotlands People
I haven't looked at the image because it costs money

There is a Mr. D Craig, Single departing on the Paparoa from London 20 September 1911, destination port is Brisbane. No age given and occupation is Assistant!
Also in the Queensland, Brisbane Register Of Immigrants 1885-1917 is a David Craig on the Paparoa 6 Novemebr 1911. Only a transcription for this one.
There is also a Military record for a David Craig but this could belong to a David Craig who was born in Australia in 1877.

I've found a newspaper advertisement of July 1911 talking about passage to Queensland on the PAPAROA for £10 (including a returnable £5 deposit) with female domestic servants travelling free (£1 deposit)
