Kellie - trying to use the Immigration Records link you sent for another relative but having no luck. Getting over a stroke so may be missing something simple as my thought process is no as good as it was but did find the Whiteheads via your info so may be my info for this one is wrong.
Hope you may be able to locate him : John William Lowery sailed to Melbourne and set out as an unassisted passenger.. Ship sailed on Tuesday 6th of May arriving in Melbourne on Monday 14th of June i have been told and again would like to add documented proof - can not even find the ship
It will show if he was wed or widowed hopefully
