In the 1970s I wrote to the Mitchell Library in Sydney for details of "Larpent" passengers, and they sent me photocopies of one page of a handwritten list, and of a plan of the berths with names of the families occupying them: "Mr Holmes & Wife" in no 33, but the names of "Mr Holmes & family" with 3 others at the bottom of the plan, as if they may have been moved.
