Hi Judy, I have the info on the 1841 census return but didn't know about the application for relief. I'll chase that one up. Thanks so much Cheers Janine i am sure you have checked out the references given here http://www.familyhistorysa.info/shipping/passengerlists.html It seems they are in a 1841 census return and applied for relief in 1840? Any more info in those sources?
