>Terry. Here is a bit of information for you from my Allen family tree re the "Lady McNaughton". >I am seeking information on the ship "Lady Macnaughton" and in particular her voyage to >NSW in 1837 in which 56 people died. 1. DANIEL1 ALLEN was born 1781 in Ballymartle, Cork Ireland. He met MARGARET JEFFERS in Ireland, daughter of MATTHEW JEFFERS. Notes for DANIEL ALLEN: On 26 February 1837, under the command of Captain George Hustwick, the emigrant ship, the Lady McNaughton staggered into Port Jackson with a raging to violent fever on board - later being identified as Typhus fever - and immediateld put into quarantine. Of the original 414 passengers who had embarked at the Cove of Cork, Ireland some 3 months earlier, some 14 adults and 53 children had died - among their number, the ship surgeon, Dr James Alfred Hawkins Esq, aged 26 years. Many families were not left untouched: the Allens being more fortunate than most. Elizabeth New England area of NSW
