This collection contains immigration deposit records from New South Wales between 1853-1900. These are records of money deposited in the Colony by people wanting to sponsor the immigration of someone, usually a family member or someone for specific employment. Part of the records also show reasons for refunds or a declined sponsorship. If the immigrant didn’t arrive the money would be refunded. One thing to remember when searching the records is the date of deposit and when the immigrant arrived can be separated by many months.
