Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Cantrell, Joseph. My ancestor was born 12 Feb 1856 in Cheshire or Staffordshire, England. In 1876 he emigrated to Australia on board the ship "Nairnshire" arriving in Brisbane on the 7th March 1877. I have unconfirmed reports that he may have made his way down to Tasmania. Some 20 years ago two of his descendants Christine and Pauline DART visited my Great Aunt in the UK and left Joseph's diary of the voyage. So... if there's anyone out there in Australia who recognises these names, send me a note.
