Tracing a Flora McDonald who I believe was on board the "Bengal Merchant" en route to Australia 1834 - 1835 along with Captain George McDonald. The Sydney Herald Mon 2 Feb 1835 Shipping Intelligence lists passengers Capt McDonald, Mrs McDonald, Miss McDonald, Misses Eliza, Charlotte, Emily, Louisa, Sarah, and Elizabeth, Masters Charles and Richard McDonald. My Flora McDonald writes from on board to her brother J or I Denoon, hence I assumed she could have been Captain McDonalds wife. Can anyone shed any light. I still have the letter dated Nov 21st 1834.
Thanks all in anticipation......S R
