I am now after another family immigrating from Victoria to Western Australia

Walter John Kensit ( Kensitt) 1858 & Emily Belinda (nee Davies) 1856
their children were Walter G 1882, Annie Sophia 1883, Edith M 1886, Albert Henry 1889 Frederick Stanley 1893, Charles lawrence 1896.
We believe they arrived before October 1896
Thank you for any help once again

I thought the poster asked for info about internal transfers within Australia? which I wouldn’t have thought would be classed as immigration...............

It would seem that Albert’s birth In 1889 was registered in NSW, as was Edith’s

Albert’s death - if it’s the right child - was registered in Victoria In 1889

You're right Erika. I don't think Ellen will find details of the move from Victoria to Western Australia.

The move must have been after 1896 as the last children named above were born in Victoria, and before 1904 when Emily died.

Erika - the Commonwealth of Australia was only created 1/1/1901 - before that, "Australia" was just a collection of British colonies, so it would be quite proper to say one emigrated from one colony to another.

Actually, 1901 is within the time-scale for the move, if you look at the info provided
