Coldwell emigration to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 1863 Hello Barry,
You do not state the religious denomination of your Coldwell forebears and I assume that they were either Church of Ireland or Presbyterian? Knowledge of the religious faith of Irish forebears is essential for success. The information you seek will be very difficult to obtain in Ireland as what you seek pre dates the introduction of civil registration of Protestant marriages in 1845 and all births in 1864. So it is most useful to utilise the very full Victorian shipping and civil registration records in Melbourne The Eurynome arrived in Melbourne December 1863. In your post you don’t include the information that the entire family emigrated.

You have a great selection of certificates to purchase……..these certificates can potentially contain a whole family tree.

The only information I have is that John was born in Co Tyrone. He died in Australia on 26 October 1926 and the date shown on his death certificate is 82 indicating a birth year of 1844. John migrated to Australia aboard the ship 'Eurynome' which departed Liverpool on 12 October 1863 arriving in Melbourne on 31 December 1863. Any information on John's birth would be appreciated. Regards Barry Cochrane Australia
