Hello Eve & others, No Kinnear in the photocopied list I have, but that is only one page. I've dug out a photocopy of the booklet Dianne probably referred to. Though I don't have the actual cover, the title page says: The "Larpent" 1849 1859 [then two pictures of the two sides of a medal] Jubilee Medal It has a brief introduction TO THE DESCENDANTS, a list of The "Larpent" [Reunion] Committee, 1959; a page headed THE "LARPENT" which gives ship's measurements etc; a photo labelled A JUBILEE RECORD - THE LARPENT SURVIVORS; another photo CENTENARY DINNER 1949; two pages telling about THE WRECK OF THE LARPENT; a page about Lang etc; two pages PASSENGER LIST OF SHIP "Larpent" - '(Supplied by the Mitchell Library, Sydney, from the Lang Papers)' No Kinnear there either. Perhaps any Lang migrant descendants could get details of other ships from the Mitchell. In case others are interested, I'll list the surnames given for the Larpent (and can supply Christian names and ages if requested): MATHEWS (my copy has an extra 'T' added by Philip Brown), WOOLLARD, LEWIS, TUCKER, COMBIE, COZENS, BONNEY, DENNY, BOYCE, CROUCH, CARTWRIGHT, ADAMS, STEEDMAN, SHREEVE, FITCHETT, WALKER, BURROWS, FRITH (altered to FIRTH by Philip Brown), FARR, POULTON, RICHARDSON, GILES, CHAUNCEY, COZENS, SWEETAPPLE, BARNES, BLICK, ABSALOM, NORTH, MITCHELL, ODDIE, DAVISON, BRIDSON, GAWNE, ROEBUCK, NAILON, ENGLAND, MARSHALL, McFARLANE, HODGSON, LAYTON, ADAMS, EXELL, WALKER, HOLMES, TECK, FRITH (again queried by Philip Brown), HOLMES, RUGMAN, GELLATLY, REEDS, ROBINSON, McMULLEN, ADCOCK, OLLIVE, RUSSOM, NEEDHAM, HARDY, COLEMAN, PATTISON, ROGERS, MEAD, BELL, GOODCHEAP, DAVIES, FURGE, KELLY, HIGGINS, BUTTS, BONHAM, MULEN, CHURCHYARD, TANDY, & 'Jas. Gascoyne Child Cabin Passenger'. Mary, the HOLMES entries run: HOLMES, William [aged] 24 HOLMES, Albert Madge 19 TECK, William, 23 FRITH, William 26 HOLMES, Sarah 22 Accuracy wasn't their strong point: Francis FITCHETT is entered as James. Good hunting, all!
