Catherine was certainly nee INNIS (INNS?). They had a dau born on board the ship. John died 24 Oct 1899 Currency Creek SA aged 83 which would certainly tie in with the age of the John bapt Leighterton. Everyone agree? Catherine died 14 Dec 1900 Point Sturt SA aged 86. Is their date and place of marriage known? Where were their chn born? Anything known about Catherine's place of birth or parents? Also from the family of John SHIPWAY and Mary CREED I have siblings Edwin arrived Sydney "Kate" 1851 James arrived Sydney "Kate" 1852 William arrived Adelaide "Alquis" 1856 I have no sign of any Joseph SHIPWAY on my index. I could check next Monday the SA birth and death CD to see if there is any sign of him???? Please note this is not my family just an entry on my GLS Immigrants to Australia pre 1888 Index.
