I recall my grandfather (Poppa) telling me that his father  (Grandpop) came from the County of Armagh to Australia in 1892.  Abraham’s obituary further stated that he arrived at Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, in 1892.

The following newspaper clippings were found via the National Library of Australia (NLA) online Newspaper archives ‘Trove’.  (www.trove.nla.gov.au)

Abraham Wilson was onboard SS Roma, travelling in steerage, London to Rockhampton.  SS Roma was apparently a cargo ship as well, therefore it stopped Rockhampton (& other ports) before arrival in Brisbane.  Abraham was travelling with his mother, Catherine, and brother Robert.

Rockhampton Newspaper Morning Bulletin Thursday 17 December 1891, page 4, under ‘Shipping’:

The above reads:  ’The B.I.S.N. Company’s s.s. Roma, from London via ports, is due in Port Alma on Friday.  The Roma has immigrants and 230 tons of general merchandise for this port.’

Rockhampton Newspaper Morning Bulletin Saturday 19 December 1891, page 4, under ‘Shipping arrivals’:

The above reads: ‘The B.I.S.N. Company’s s.s. Roma, from London via ports, is due in Port Alma to-day.  The Roma has immigrants and cargo for Rockhampton.  The immigrants will be brought up to town by the Ports and Rivers’ steamer Fitzroy, arriving in town about noon.

Brisbane Courier Wednesday 23 December 1891:

The above reads:

December 21.- ROMA, R.M.S. 2727 tons, Captain J. Templeton, from London.  Passengers:  From London – Mr. A.M. MyIne; from Batavia- Major H.W. Perrin, Messrs W.G. Beattie, J. Clifford Smith, G.B. Forrest, and Chaleyer; from Thursday Island – Mrs. Fritzmaurice and 2 infants; from Townsville – Mr. W. A. Furgusson; and 64 immigrants.  The B.I. and Q.A. Company, Limited, agents.

I guess December 1891 is close enough to 1892 (the arrival year as told by Poppa).  I also checked the passenger lists to confirm Abraham’s arrival on this voyage.
