The second Java list adds the immigrant's parents, a field the first omits. This is a shipping record naming Robert Nelson's parents as William and Sarah, independent of the Hawstead register, of the Kempsey West monument and of the compiled profile, and agreeing with his 1898 NSW death row 9767/1898 | WILLIAM | SARAH | KEMPSEY. It is now the strongest single piece of evidence for this parent link, which was the weakest thing in proposal #2201.

Susan Baker | abt 1843 | East Coker
The five rows of the household as they stand on the Kate's list, arrived 18 November 1854 (records 131508 to 131512). This is the record that constitutes the family: George, his wife Mary, and three daughters. The ages give births about 1811, 1809, 1839, 1841 and 1843. Amelia, at 13, is the one who married Benjamin Saville at Manning River in 1860. It also settles what WikiTree only asserted — East Coker — and adds the two sisters.
Eliza Baker | 15 | abt 1839 | East Coker | Both | Father George | Mother Mary
Amelia Baker | 13 | abt 1841 | East Coker | Father George | Mother Mary
Susan Baker | 11 | abt 1843 | East Coker | Father George | Mother Mary
The three daughters' rows on the Kate's second list of 21 November 1854 (records 308697-308699), read in a browser on 8 September 2026. The 18 November list carries the same children with no parent columns, so this is the first record read that names George and Mary as their parents outright rather than by household grouping. Amelia is the one who married Benjamin Saville at Manning River in 1860. The ages give births about 1839, 1841 and 1843, matching the East Coker baptisms of Eliza (5 January 1840) and Susan (24 December 1843).
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 same record, cited here for its last two fields: Father Wm, Mother Mercy. An emigrant naming his own parents on an official list is the evidence that was missing when Samuel Finch was added to the tree, where the parents William Finch and Mercy Walker rested only on the cemetery index compiler's note. With the Rayleigh parish register's 1802 marriage of a William Finch to a Mercy Walker, both of Rayleigh, this couple can now be recorded.
Susannah Finch | Female | 28 | abt 1821 | Glemsford Lappen England | St Vincent | Both | Church of England | Father Abraham | Mother Sarah
The same record, cited here for its last two fields: Father Abraham, Mother Sarah. Read with her memorial's 'dau/Abram & Sarah', two independent sources name the same couple, which is why they are recorded here. Neither gives Sarah a maiden name, so she is entered with a given name only and takes the surname WORDLEY as a derived married name. The family's parish is Glemsford in Suffolk, in the Sudbury registration district — which is exactly where the Wordley surname clusters in FreeBMD, including an Abraham Wordley whose death was registered at Sudbury in the September quarter of 1848, six months before his daughter sailed.
John Field | Male | 28 | abt 1810 | Udermore Sussex | James Pattison | Both | Methodist | Father John Field | Mother Mary Field
The bounty list records each emigrant's parents, and it names John Field's as John Field, farm labourer, and Mary Field of Udimore, Sussex. They stayed in England; Mary is created without a surname since 'Field' on the list is her married name. Relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07.
