Emily Sherwood, Free Settler "Premier" 1840

I HAVE A SUSPICION THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE EMILY. I believe that there may have been an error due to the fact that Emily was a 16 yo "child" on departure, and a 17yo "single woman" on arrival. I doubt there were two living Emily's in the same family. However, as there is documentation for this little one, I have made a profile...

Emily's family arrived in NSW on the "Premier" 1 July 1840.

Her father Robert , son of a farmer, was a Cotton Weaver and of the Protestant religion.

Robert (39), his wife Bridget (35), and children Alice (25), WIlliam (19), Emily (17), Robert (16), Nelson (14), Joseph (10), Emily (6), and Margaret (4).

They were "Bounty Immigrants" to New South Wales from Monasterevan, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
