    3. I'm seeking information regarding my gg grandparents Thomas and Jane Wilson. They arrived in Port Phillip on the 1st May, 1840 aboard the "China". Thomas was designated a farm servant and Jane a house maid, both were from Nottingham in England, could read and write. They were bought here as 'Bounty Immigrants' by John Marshal, Australian Emigration Agent of Burchin Lane, Cornhill, London. The only trace I have is that they had a son Henry, my g grandfather, born at Melbourne in 1848. Henry married my g grandmother Elizabeth O'Sullivan in Sydney, Henry was a carrier/coachman. What I would like to know, is there a record or records of the places where John Marshall placed these 'Bounty Immigrants'? Any info will be gratefully received. Thanks Neville.
