For “Born” 1841 of Amelia Baker

Amelia Baker | Female | 13 | abt 1841 | East Coker Geovil Somerset | Kate | Both | Church of England

The passenger list gives her place of origin as East Coker in the Yeovil district of Somerset, and her age as 13 in November 1854, implying a birth about 1841. This confirms at quality 3 what had rested on WikiTree alone. The parish itself is still not a row in this tree, so no birth place id is set.

For “Immigrated” 18 NOV 1854 of Amelia Baker

Amelia Baker | Female | 13 | abt 1841 | East Coker Geovil Somerset | Kate | Both | Church of England

Amelia's own row on the Kate's list, fields as labelled. 'Both' is the read-and-write column: at 13 she could do both, unlike either parent. This is the record itself, and supersedes the quality-1 citation that quoted the archives reference second-hand from WikiTree.

For “Immigrated” 24 APR 1853 of Robert Nelson

Robert Nelson | Male | ArrivalAge 29 | BirthYear abt 1824 | ArrivalDate 24 Apr. 1853 | ArrivalPlaceofOrigin Heastead Suffolk | ArrivalShip Java | ResidenceCanReadWrite Neither | Religion Church of England

Ancestry index fields for the assisted-immigrant list, quoted label-and-value in the order the record panel gives them. The arrival date confirms the Government Gazette's 24 April 1853 from the list itself. The arrival age 29 is two years light against the Hawstead baptism of 25 Aug 1822; ages in this series are routinely wrong and nothing was changed on the strength of it.

For “Immigrated” 24 APR 1853 of Robert Nelson

Elizabeth Nelson | Female | 31 | abt 1822 | Wepstead Suffolk | Java | Both | Church of England

The same index fields in the same order (name, sex, arrival age, birth year, place of origin, ship, can read/write, religion). She could read and write 'Both', which is why her details are recorded more carefully than her husband's. Age 31 is two years light against the Whepstead baptism of 12 Dec 1819.

For “Born” ABT 1813 of Richard Crossingham

Chd Crossingham | Male | 25 | abt 1813 | Ecclesham Sussex | Coromandel

The birthplace Icklesham is set from this passenger row and from his brother Thomas's (63994, also 'Ecclesham Sussex', whose 1817 Icklesham baptism confirms the parish for that brother). Stated plainly: a bounty list records the emigrant's PLACE OF ORIGIN, meaning where he was living, not necessarily where he was born, and WikiTree Crossingham-37 gives Brede - so this is cited at quality 2. FreeREG's Icklesham transcript holds no baptism for a Richard to Thomas and Kezia, and Brede is not transcribed at all, so the Brede register is what would settle it.

For “Born” 29 OCT 1811 of Henrietta Tolhurst

Henrietta Crossingham | Female | 23 | abt 1815 | Sussex | Coromandel | Both | Protestant

Cited on the birth event because it is the only contemporaneous statement of her age. It puts her birth about 1815, four years after the 1988 plaque's 29 October 1811. The date on the event has been left as the plaque gives it and this conflict is recorded rather than resolved.

For “Immigrated” 2 OCT 1838 of Richard Crossingham

Chd Crossingham | Male | 25 | abt 1813 | Ecclesham Sussex | Coromandel | Both | Church of England | Father Thos Crossingham | Child Richard; Peter; Coromandel

Ancestry collection 1204, the second of the two Coromandel lists, read in Chrome 2026-09-07 by the orchestrator and relayed verbatim; I did not open Ancestry. Field order as relayed: name, sex, arrival age, birth year, place of origin, ship, can read/write, religion, father, children. 'Chd' is the index's mangling of 'Rchd' (Richard); 'Ecclesham' is Icklesham. The children column - Richard, Peter and Coromandel - is the ship's own record of the family group, including the daughter born at sea. Henrietta's paired row is 29149, 'Henretta ... Ecclesham, Sussex; Notes Richard, Peter, Coromandel'.

For “Immigrated” 11 DEC 1838 of John Field

John Field | Male | 28 | abt 1810 | Udermore Sussex | James Pattison | Both | Methodist | Father John Field | Mother Mary Field | Child Sarah Jane Field; Jacob Field; Sarah Jane Field; Annet Field; Sarah Jane

Ancestry collection 1204, read in Chrome 2026-09-07 by the orchestrator and relayed verbatim; I did not open Ancestry. Field order as relayed: name, sex, arrival age, birth year, place of origin, ship, can read/write, religion, father, mother, children. 'Udermore' is Udimore, Sussex. The children column is plainly corrupt - Sarah Jane repeats three times and 'Jacob'/'Annet' match no other row - so the family group is taken from the individual rows instead (Sarah Jane 64548, Jno W 64547, Harriet 64549), which is also what the earlier WikiTree transcription describes as 'a boy 3 1/2, Sarah Jane 7 yrs, Harriet 7 months'.

For “Born” ABT 1838 of Harriett Maria Field

Harriet Field | Female | 0 | abt 1838 | Sussex | James Pattison

Ancestry collection 1204, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07 (name, sex, arrival age, birth year, place of origin, ship). The birth event had no citation of its own. The sources disagree and the disagreement is unresolved: this list makes her under one year old in December 1838 and WikiTree's transcription of it says '7 months on 10 Dec 1838' (born about May 1838); her Moorland headstone gives 'AGED 72 YEARS' at 23 August 1908 (born 1836); the Raleigh Sun said 71 (1837); WikiTree Field-5859 carries 10 May 1837 and the linked Geni profile 10 May 1836 at Udimore. The tree keeps ABT 1838, from the record made at the voyage's end.

For “Immigrated” 13 MAR 1849 of Samuel Finch

Samuel Finch | Male | ArrivalAge 38 | BirthYear abt 1811 | ArrivalDate 13 Mar. 1849 | ArrivalPlaceofOrigin Raleigh Essex England | ArrivalShip St Vincent | ResidenceCanReadWrite Both | Religion Church of England | Father Wm | Mother Mercy

The record's own field values, as Ancestry gives them. A second copy of the same list, dated 11 March 1849, appears at records 98026-98029. NOTE THE AGE CONFLICT: this list makes him 38 in March 1849, i.e. born about 1811, while the Enfield monument makes him 80 at his death in October 1886 and the Australian Cemeteries Index gives 27 February 1806. Assisted passages carried upper age limits and shaved ages are routine on these lists, so the person row keeps 1806; nothing here overrides it. 'Raleigh Essex' is Rayleigh, the parish the cemetery index also names.

For “Immigrated” 13 MAR 1849 of Susannah Wordley

Susannah Finch | Female | 28 | abt 1821 | Glemsford Lappen England | St Vincent | Both | Church of England | Father Abraham | Mother Sarah

The record's own field values, as Ancestry gives them, in the same column order as her husband's row. The duplicate copy of the list at record 98027 renders the place of origin as 'Glemsford Suffolk', which is what 'Glemsford Lappen' garbles. Her age of 28 in March 1849 gives a birth about 1820-21 and agrees with the age of 44 on her 1864 Braidwood memorial.

For “Immigrated” 13 MAR 1849 of Harriet Mary Finch

Harriett Finch | Female | 3 | abt 1846 | London Middlesex | St Vincent | Both | Church of England

The record's own field values, in the same column order as her parents' rows. 'London Middlesex' agrees with her birth registration at Strand in the June quarter of 1845; an age of 3 in March 1849 is consistent with a birth in the first half of 1845, the list rounding down. This is the record that dates the family's arrival for her: born in London, in New South Wales from the age of three, married at Braidwood in 1862.

For “Born” ABT 1809 of Mary King

Mary Baker | Female | 45 | abt 1809 | Chilten Somerset | Kate | Read | Church of England

Her row on the Kate's list, fields as labelled. She could read but not write; her husband could do neither. Note she is entered under BAKER, her married surname — nothing on the list gives her maiden name, so none is invented here.

One shared arrival event for the household rather than a copy on each person. A second list for the same ship, dated 21 November 1854, indexes George again with his parents named.

The religion column of the bounty list, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07. His wife Sarah is Methodist on the same list, and forty-nine years later he was buried from the Wesleyan cemetery at Chatswood.
