I have seen no proof of the alias "Elizabeth Letty". Sometimes her surname is recorded as "Kelso". There is no proof of the "Letty" alias that I have found. Kelso is just an administrative mistake of the surname "Kelsall". Sources include: https://www.ancestry.com.au/imageviewer/collections/1689/images/41493_329116-00254?pId=40907 Date of burial 23 May https://www.ancestry.com.au/imageviewer/collections/60737/images/44132_1831101454_0699-00585?pId=30518 & gave birth to last child on 22 May (child survived). Ship voyage should be the 2nd voyage, not the 3rd.
