I'm not sure whether these databases are included in the UK sub but hopefully someone with a UK sub can check?

Thanks Kite.

The databases are included in the UK sub.

The final link seems to include at least one volume of printed lists of families who had emigrated from Britain and Ireland, 1825 - 1832, to New South Wales and Van Diemen's land as well as to North America. .

I've looked up 3 of mine that were with the Army in Canada between 1841 & 1861 and none of them appears on any of the data bases. One was there nearly 10 years so wonder where they were hiding!!!
