Richard and Ann Jane Oxley

This list was discovered on 15 Apr 2000 when I checked the Victorian shipping records for Unassisted Immigrants, at http://www.cohsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/db/ship.pl and found 46 people surnamed Oxley including 'our family' with two children I had not previously discovered.

Shipping records show that the family arrived February 1865 on the Great Britain, Code B, Fiche 242, Page 9. The year of birth is based on the age as listed. The list has been re-arranged into birth order, so we can see that Rachel should have been called Richard, infant Matilda died when aged 2 years, and Esther's death is not recorded with her parents listed in the Victorian Index.
