by the way, their religion is listed as "prot" ie protestant.  I don't think that was classified as non conformist or that they were Wesleyans.  I would send you the doc but I understand from this sites rules that that isn't kosher

New South Wales, Australia, Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1828-1896
Arrival Date 12 November  1840 on the Argyleshire
John Booth 29 protestant brickmaker Stockport
Mary 3?2 dairy woman Halifax
James 4 Halifax
Susannah 1 month?

Having looked again Susannah's age is 1 week old so born towards the end of the voyage.

Wesleyans and nonconformists were breakaway groups from the established protestant church (according to Wikipedia)  :) 
Is it an Australian document that states James' birth date as 11 March 1836? Does the column heading have Age or Birthdate as the heading?
I still am inclined to read this " "James 4y 11 Mar 1840" as meaning he was anywhere between 4 years 1 day and 4 years 364 days old on the 11 March when his age was recorded.

The dates on the entitlement certificates are usually the date that the person will be the age that they have stated, so James will be aged 4 on 11 March 1840.

You can see all the information that was recorded here:
