Does anyone know how I can find details of a relative who left England for Australia after 1871?
i.e. census, shipping lists.
Thanks

Try www.ancestry.co.uk

You could also try 'googling' something like 'Australia immigration ships'

There are no Australian censuses - they did/do take them but they are destroyed as soon as the statistics are compiled not long after.
