1820 British Settler

William Sephton infant, together with his parents and 3 siblings, were members of Sephton's party of 344 people on the Aurora.

( William was born at sea.) Death Notice says he was  35 y 9 m and 2 days old. Therefore born in November 1820, which was 6 months after arrival at Port Elizabeth. But it states he was born in Whitechapel Street, London. Great Confusion. It is also clear that William's widow did not know the names of his parents.

Party originated from London.
