You've probably seen this, but the Immigration Index just has Alexander, married, farm labourer and family.

Nothing metioned about Isabella.

This may be worth looking into..

Thanks Geoff.

I'll add that burial to my list.

Last week I checked Chatswood library and the indication was that the microfilm readers would be available this week. Turns out not to be the case.

Hopefully not too much longer..

Yep, found a couple trees, they thought she had died at sea, no proof.. Also some info not listed in records, allegedly.

The date of birth indicates it must have been on the vessel in baptism record in post #1.

Arrived 27 Oct.

The other passengers on that vessel are listed in a similar manner - head of family and number of children.

Could have died at sea.

No other baptism in NSW index. There is a note on the baptism record that I could not read last time I looked at the image.

Apparently conditions were very bad on the voyage, some women and some children suffered more than others.. There is a book about it, I've only read snippets. Apparently not all women were listed by name, it really needs a source or proof to say that. That said, I haven't seen a list with Isabella's name on yet.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

That image I posted from NSW records lists very few of the wives.

Yeah, I'm usually not good with images like that.

Yep, that's the impression I got from the author of the book. You'd expect that on unassisted voyages, but not assisted?

It's a very early one and seems to be a bit unusual in that the employment and wages and rations were already organised. The vessel came from Isle of Skye so an agent must have gone there and arranged everything.

The death of one of the children on the vessel.

Yeah, have checked some of Alexander Sr's offspring listed in the trees for possible clues. Gillander McInnes d. 1865, mmn = Mcdonald.

Anyway, going for a while, Dave..
