Deirdre I cannot help with a passenger list but there was a report filed with the British Government and printed in the British Parliamentary Paper "Correspondence between Secretary of State for Colonies and Governors of Australian Colonies respecting Emigration" in 1837 (358). The report deals mostly with the voyage of 1835 when the ship brought over females from Ireland but it gives a description of the vessel. "That ship was 550 tons register measurement, with a crew of 35 men, under the management of a captain and four officers." Then in the "Select Committee on Transportation, Report, Minutes of Evidence, Appendix, Index" from 1837-38 (669) is something on the 1836 voyage from Cork. Ship Duchess of Northumberland, of 540 tons register, from Ireland for Sydney. First Class......236 Second ditto.....21 Third ditto.........20 Fourth ditto.......17 Fifth ditto...........30 Total................324 Then this item: "The females sent out in that ship were selected in Ireland by persons appointed for that purpose by the Colonial-office; in one voyage they turned out well." These voyages with the female emigrants have been written up and you may find some other information on the voyage. Regards..
