'Henry' was the name of the ship that brought your ancestor to Australia. http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/s ... mig-wa.htm shows that the 'Henry' was in Fremantle, Western Australia in April 1841. I couldn't find the ship arriving in 1842, but I did just a cursory search. If you know which Australian state your ancestor settled in, you should be able to track down the ship's arrival.

Good luck!

Thanks for the information HenriS it was a great, I help think the 1841 docking was correct.

Best wishes
