I want to correct your info about the China, but I can't see how to submit it apart from adding to a convict's record. I have read the Ship's Surgeon's report ADM 101/17/2 at the National Archives in Kew. The ship sailed only to Norfolk Island, not Van Diemen's Land. She reached N.I. on 16 May 1846.
