Hi Olwyn I just realised I haven’t viewed your link yet and that it is actually a scan of the part of the pax list containing the BECK family! But says nothing about origin, which I suppose is why the MacDonald List said nothing about origin. Do you have a scan of the section the WAKELIN family is in?

Some trees have assumed that John BECK on the ship is related to Ann BECK the wife of John WAKELIN on the voyage but I haven’t seen the proof of it. I haven’t had a go at them yet. Presumably John’s death registration should give his parents as long as it wasn’t too early. Could be like Ann though, her’s just said her father was Richard the bricklayer and that she was born in Leicestershire, mother unknown. I haven’t located an original scan of the passenger list, just a summary online (at your pages I think!). An item in the MacDonald Index at Canterbury Museum quoted a pax list for the voyage as a source, so maybe that is at Archives NZ in Peterborough St in Chch seeing as lots of them were transfered there some years ago. Doesn’t come up on Archway though.

Was John and Sarah BECK and family, passengers on the Travancore to Lyttelton in December 2850 related to Mrs. Ann Wakelin nee Beck? They settled in Winton, Otago. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nzbound/images/Travancore.jpg
