Find Ancestors

Hi,

I'm looking for immigration records for my father, Leo Thomas Thornton Mahon, born 1908. who according to family history came to Australia with the Big Brother Movement from England between 1923-1927 sometime. He would have been a teenager who ended up in Queensland at the Gatton Agricultural College

I can't seem to find him on any passenger lists around that time.

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Leonie

Thank you, thank you, thank you ...so much.
How on earth did you find him?

So he came out on the Balranald that left England on 23 Dec 1926, so obviously it arrived sometime in 1927.

Next step, then, is to find the passenger list for arrivals. Any ideas?

Thanks again. Wow !!! I'm so impressed.

Cheers

Found the info on FMP


Sorry do not know where to find incoming lists for Australia

Sorry, excuse my ignorance, what is FMP?

We will continue researching. Thanks again Jax, you've been a great help.
