Hi Jason I ,and someone else sent you the passenger list of this ship and this particular voyage yesterday. I also sent you Elizabeth Rushens web site which has a lot of info about the need for more women in the Colony of NSW in the 1830's I dont know whether this particular voyage , unlike its previous2, were at the instigation of any committee . A brief thanks for the info augers better than crossing posting on another mailing list with near enough the same questions Bye MargM Sydney List Admin
