Passage to Australia

The tree consists of the VINEY ancestors who emigrated from Lancashire, England to Australia in 1924.

The following information was provided by Karen Healey (Black) Andrew.  Thank you!

The VINEYs become Australians when the family migrates to Australia in 1924.  Harold Viney was a collier and worked in the nearby coal mines in Lancashire, England.  His health was suffering from the effects of the mines so he and his wife, Edith, decided to move to Australia to start afresh.  In 1924, they arrived in Australia on the RMS Ormuz and eventually settled in Ascot Vale in Victoria. 

  RMS Ormuz, circa 1920

 Harold and Edith had a son, Living VINEY, who married Joan CUMMING which tied the two families together.
