COL/A references and immigration
Amongst the lesser known 'gems' in the State Library's microfilm collection are 4 statements addressed to the Colonial Secretary's Office from Henry Jordan, Queensland's Agent-General for Immigration in Great Britain, listing names of immigrants who came under assisted passage to Queensland between 1865 and 1866.
The names are indexed in the Card Index to Queensland immigration records from 1848 to 1915 which is also held on microfilm at the State Library (MFL 929.3943 1987)
The statements provide details for each immigrant of the type of passage, the name of the ship, the name of the immigration agent, the costs of passage and the ship's kit, and - more importantly - the place of origin.
The statements are contained in the Quarterly statements of receipts and expenditure received from the Agent-General's Office in London between the last quarter of 1865 and the third quarter of 1866 (COL/A74, COL/A78, COL/A83, COL/A86)
The extract shown is from COL/A78 for the quarter ending December 1865.
