07/11/09 1:31 PM	Hi all you helpful people. Haven't been on much lately but I have a query from an old friend and wonder if anyone can help. Harry Woodroffe & his wife, Mary Ann nee Keates arrived on the Belgravia on 2 May 1884. Can anyone tell me which children came with them please? My friend tells me that they had "lots". If anyone is connected to this family, please do get in touch. Many thanks, Min

07/11/09 8:46 PM	Hi Liz, Just checking all the passenger lists for the Belgravia 1884 on Ancestry's Assisted Immigrant passenger lists (theres 6 of them) and it only has parents Harry aged 35 and Sarah aged 32 with children Arthur 10, Herbert 8, Roger 6, and Dora 1. Wonder why there are more children listed on NSW gov state records than on the passenger lists? Min, did Harry return to UK sometime as a tree has him dying 1923 in Wiltshire, Sarah died in 1921 in Bankstown NSW regards Val

I was just being lazy and didn't want to type them all out and you are not allowed to copy and paste from this site WOODROFF Arthur 10 Belgravia 1884 Sydney and family Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Dora 1 Belgravia 1884 Sydney and family Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Edith 12 Belgravia 1884 Sydney Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Harry 13 Belgravia 1884 Sydney Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Harry 35 Belgravia 1884 Sydney and family Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Herbert 8 Belgravia 1884 Sydney and family Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Roger 6 Belgravia 1884 Sydney and family Reels 2142, 2495 WOODROFF Sarah 32 Now what do you think about that little mess? Maybe whoever posted that record on ancestry did not check it properly from the immigration indexes Last Edited By: genieliz 07/11/09 9:03 PM. Edited 2 times.

19/11/09 2:45 PM	Hi everyone, Have only just had a chance to get back to this site, sorry I haven't answered before this. This family is not my own, but a friend's, so I'm unable to answer about him dying in Wiltshire. Will copy all your answers and hopefully Auds will be able to make something out of it all. She is nearly 80 and is not too au fait with computers, but she tries. Many thanks to you all for your help with this. Regards, Min

22/11/09 2:55 PM	Hi folks, Just wanted to let you know that my friend thinks you are all wonderful for being able to give her this info, Harry and Sarah had another couple of children after arriving in Sydney too, but she didn't think it was nearly as many as she'd been led to believe. Anyway just wanted to pass on her thanks for the help you've all so graciously given. Regards, Min
