Joseph Hands arrived in Sydney on the barque Sultana on 28 June 1856, at an age of 19. He was one of 244 immigrants on the vessel. He was an assisted immigrant and was paid the sum of one pound on his arrival in Sydney. The Sultana had sailed from the Port of London.

The list of immigrants from the Immigration Board records Joseph as being able to read and write and being in good physical health. Joseph was a garden labourer but the Immigration Board record also states that he had acted as Schoolmaster. Joseph is shown as being a native of Leicester and at the time of his arrival in Sydney, both of his parents – Daniel and Ann – had died.

The Immigration Board record also states that Joseph had a cousin, William Johnson, in the colony. This could potentially be the son of William Johnson, who was the brother in law of Daniel Hands (Joseph's father) at his death in Hinkley.

(Joseph's father Daniel died 1838. His death cert has - informant William Johnson, Brother in law, Grove St, St. Margaret)
