This is wonderful, Karenlee. You are adding so much to my family tree. 

I wonder if you are able to find any births/baptisms of the children of Jemima MESSENT and Thomas Temlett BROWN? I know that had at least one, Letitia, who came out in the ship with them in 1858 but they may have had others as they married in 1851. I found a Letitia Brown b 1855 in Poplar, London in the FreeBDM but don't know if that's the correct one.

The other baptisms to find would be the STOKES children. The family also came out in 1858 with both children dying on the voyage. Such a tradegy. They were Selina & Samuel.

Thanks again for all your help,

I do see in one of the Australian Papers that W H BURFORD went on and married his sister in law Mary Ann.
