Sailed Plymouth 21 January 1842 - arrived Auckland 24 May 1842: Captain Heale chartered and filled up with cargo and passengers the barque Louisa Campbell, commanded by Captain Darby, and a fine stalwart crew of 18 hands all told. Dr. Morrison was ship's doctor. Captain Heale decided to take passage in the vessel. Her cabin accommodation was soon taken up by the following passengers, namely, Rev. G. S. Kissling, wife and family, Rev. Mr. Spencer, wife and two children (one born at sea), Mr. and Mrs. Williams, three children (one born at sea), and servant, Mr. Berry (first sheriff of Auckland) and Mrs. Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Hallimore, Mr. Coney, Mr. Appleyard (the donor of the south corner section of Queen and Shortland-street to St. John's College), Mr. and Mrs. George, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Robinson. Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Robinson and family, Mrs. Wagget and daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Tidmarsh and three children, Mr. B. Hughes, wife and family, Messrs. Moffat (dentist), and Mark Dent, and a number of single men, one of their number being married at sea by the Rev. Mr. Kissing. Thus there was one marriage, two births and two christening at sea.

For many years there has been conjecture did the Louisa Campbell arrive in Auckland May 1842, some would argue NO. I believe it did, references found to ship Louisa Campbell in Ann Williams-Firth diary at Matamata Musuem. Then I started trawling the internet and over the years more information has come available as newspapers etc have been published on-line. The ship appears to have left Gravesend, London, England 8 Jan 1842, Plymouth 24 Jan 1842, put in 24 March Table Bay, Cape Town, 15 Cabin, & 49 Steerage passengers - see - https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12875573?searchTerm=ship...
