Information on Great Grandfather

[mtonchells1]

Hi l am looking for information re my great grandfather who arrived in Australia probably not directly April 1881 - his occupation on 2 of the marriage certs l have found was a Miner so l expect he came her during the goldrush! He left Italy from Napoli and l am aware he left a family behind. Does anyone know where l may locate departure records from the 1880's in Italy? He cam from the Ville Di Torano Parish San Lorenzo in the Valtellina Region of Sondrio Lomabrdia - this information was handed down to me by an aunt that tried to trace his steps to Australia over 10 years ago so l am hoping as time has gone on obtaining records may have become easier?

I don't believe there are departure records from Italy. If you know the town he came from it should be easy to request his birth record. With luck it will indicate who he married.
