I am tracking the arrival from France of one Auguste LA FERRIERE known as FERRIF. He gave his birthplace as Rochelle / La Rochelle, France. A family Bible (now lost) gave the family name as LA FERRIERE.
I know that there quite a number of French residing in Melbourne at this time (although have not seen actual census records)
He was in Melbourne in South Yarra in 1860. His son Gustave FERRIF was born there in 1860. Auguste was 28 years of age at this time.
I gather that Auguste may have already had a daughter named Blanche - by the same wife? or another? perhaps Clara's child taken his name - no birth record for Blanche FERRIF.
I can find no evidence of his marriage to Gustave's Mother Clare [ex SMITH] from London, UK. either. The family later left Melbourne and worked in various towns throughout Victoria and NSW.
What I want is some assistance in finding Auguste's arrival in Australia - where ? when? I gather records exist for census and alien/foreign residents in Vic at that period but have not been able to view these.

Many thanks for any help with my inquiry - in anticipation
