Note:- There are four boys and eleven girls mentioned on the list contained within the CFS 5th anual report, although the embarkation report lists four boys and twelve girls. The missing girl is probably Sarah Riggs, who as Martha Powell states in her letter, (In the Geoff Blackburn publication p211-212) was in the same place as Mary Ann Stewart. According to the CFS 4th Annual Report, " ... all (the Riggs family) went out together".
