I don't know how or where you find information on ships crewmen on ships out of Australia.
Has anyone got any ideas on this please?
Good luck with your William Henry Martin Collis marquette I hope you get a break through soon. It is an unusual name you'd think it would jump out at you wouldn't you...lol. You have family legend I wish I could find some live family with a story about Roy Campbell...lol

Any chance he inherited some money from his mother?
