For Robert Nelson (1822–1898)

ArrivalPlaceofOrigin Heastead Suffolk

'Heastead' is Hawstead written down phonetically from a man the same record says could read and write 'Neither'. Cited on the person because it is his own statement of his native parish - the third independent source for Hawstead, after the cemetery index ('Hawstead, Norfolk [sic]') and the compiled profile's reading of the baptism register. No birth place id is set: Hawstead, Suffolk is not yet a place row in the tree.

For Elizabeth Debenham (1819–1908)

Wepstead Suffolk

'Wepstead' is Whepstead, the parish adjoining Hawstead - the same village the Australian Cemeteries Index spells 'Whipstead' and the compiled profile spells correctly. Three sources, three spellings, one parish. No birth place id is set: Whepstead, Suffolk is not yet a place row.

For Richard Crossingham (1834–1917)

Richard Crossingham | Male | 5 | abt 1833 | Sussex | Coromandel | Protestant

Ancestry collection 1204, read in Chrome 2026-09-07 by the orchestrator and relayed verbatim: Richard as a child on the voyage, listed as 5. He was in fact four and a half, having been baptised at Icklesham on 9 February 1834.

For Harriett Maria Field (1838–1908)

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

Ancestry collection 1204, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07. This CORRECTS the ABT 1836 I set earlier from her headstone's 'AGED 72 YEARS'. A record made at the voyage's end says she was under one year old in December 1838, the WikiTree transcription of the same list makes her '7 months on 10 Dec 1838' (so born about May 1838), and WikiTree separately reports an Ancestry Sussex baptism of 5 August 1838 for a Harriet Field, daughter of John and Sarah. Two contemporaneous readings beat a monumental age, so the birth becomes ABT 1838; the 72 on the stone and the 71 in the Raleigh Sun are both overstated by two to three years.

Richard Crossingham | Male | ArrivalAge 25 | BirthYear abt 1813 | ArrivalDate 2 Oct. 1838 | ArrivalPlaceofOrigin Sussex | ArrivalShip Coromandel | ResidenceCanReadWrite Both | Religion Protestant

Ancestry collection 1204, read in Chrome 2026-09-07 by the orchestrator and relayed verbatim. Age 25 on arrival confirms the birth about 1813 already on the record. Read together with record 29148 it gives his father as Thos Crossingham and his place of origin as Ecclesham (Icklesham) Sussex, not Brede as WikiTree Crossingham-37 has it - his brother Thomas's row says Icklesham too, and the Icklesham register holds the Thomas x Kezia baptisms.

For Henrietta Tolhurst (1811–1894)

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

Ancestry collection 1204, read in Chrome 2026-09-07 by the orchestrator and relayed verbatim. Her companion row 29149 reads 'Henretta ... Ecclesham, Sussex; Notes Richard, Peter, Coromandel'. The age 23 here is too young: her Moorland plaque gives 29 October 1811, her 1894 death registration and the cemetery index both make her 82 at death, and a woman of 23 in 1838 could not have a son baptised in 1834. Understated ages are commonplace on bounty lists, which had an upper age limit; the plaque date is kept.

For George Baker (1811–1889)

George Baker | Male | ArrivalAge 43 | BirthYear abt 1811 | ArrivalDate 18 Nov. 1854 | ArrivalPlaceofOrigin East Coker Geovil Somerset | Arrival1PlaceofOrigin Long Sutton, Somerset | ArrivalShip Kate | ResidenceCanReadWrite Neither | Religion Church of England

His own row on the Kate's assisted-immigrant list, fields as the collection labels them. 'Geovil' is the clerk's or the indexer's spelling of Yeovil, the registration district East Coker sits in. The list records two places of origin, East Coker and Long Sutton — both Somerset, about fifteen miles apart — which is the usual native-place-versus-last-residence split; neither is asserted as a birthplace here because the tree holds no row for either. He could neither read nor write, which is worth knowing when weighing spellings elsewhere in this family.

For Sarah Jane Watson (1814–1842)

Sarah Field | Female | 23 | abt 1815 | Brede, Sussex | James Pattison

Ancestry collection 1204, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07. Brede, Sussex as her place of origin corroborates the WikiTree transcription that gives her parents as William Watson, labourer, and Jane of Brede, and supports the maiden surname Watson, which no NSW record states.

For George Robert Nelson (1845–1926)

George abt 1845 Heastead

The eldest son on the Java list: born about 1845 at Hawstead, which is both his year and his parish confirmed from the shipping record. Added as a participant to the family's existing arrival event rather than given an event of his own.

For John Nelson (1851–1853)

John Nelson | Male | 1 | abt 1852 | Java

The infant is on the list, aged 1 - so he sailed, and the death recorded for him is a death at sea on this voyage. His presence is what makes the family eight children rather than the 'family of seven' the 1947 obituary counts, and he is the 'one boy who had died' on both parents' death certificates. The 'abt 1852' is the list's own arithmetic from the age; the Hawstead baptism was 6 July 1851, and the birth date on his record is left at 1851.

For Sarah Jane Field (b. 1831)

Sarah Jane Field | Female | 7 | abt 1831 | Sussex | Methodist

Ancestry collection 1204, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07. Harriett Maria's eldest sister; the earlier WikiTree transcription gives her as 'Sarah Jane 7 yrs on 7 May 1838'.

Ancestry collection 1204, relayed verbatim from Chrome 2026-09-07. 'Jno' is the standard contraction of John; the given names are left as the list gives them. He is the 'boy 3 1/2' of the WikiTree transcription and Harriett Maria's brother.
