I have been looking at some of the shipping records for New South Wales and thought some may be interested in this group from Ardnamurchan who settled on the Clarence River on the North Coast of New South Wales. They spell the name as above and not as on the shipping record. The following records are from two separate lists, one the shipping list and the other more detailed agents list. I am interested in contacting anyone who may have connections. Anne Maye. Assisted Immigration to Sydney & Newcastle Shipping List 'General Hewett' 1848, Master Gatenby.
