Emigrants to Australia 1849

Michael Hollier, whose connection to the Lewknor Holliers is described below, came back to say he has researched the other Hollier couple, John & Mary, that he had noted as arriving in Australia in 1849. He said:

"I have done some more work on the John and Mary Hollier who arrived in 1849
on the 'Francis Ridley' which arrived in Melbourne on 12/2/1849.

He is recorded as a labourer aged 34 who was to be employed by an Edward Wood of Ravensdale Creek for 12 months at 20 pounds per annum. His passage was with rations. Mary was noted as wife 25 yrs old."

So now he know their ages, but so far it doesn't tie up to any obvious 'lost' John Hollier.
