The Knight and the Cock families both arrived as unassisted migrants on the Sir Robert Sale in October 1868. In addition to the Knights listed by Rob there was also a Mark (27). You can check on the Victorian P.R.O. on-line records for the basic details. Tony O'Grady. There were also voyages to Australia by a Sir Robert Sale in 1850 and 1852 but I don't know whethet or not it was the same vessell.
