"Augusta Jessie" Ship - 1837
« on: Saturday 17 November 12 01:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello

One of my husband's ancestors travelled to Australia on the Augusta Jessie in 1837 - that trip being a Government Emigrant ship.

I was just wondering if anyone had the full copy of the ships list - I am having huge problems finding her. 

Look forward to hearing from someone.

Tam  :D :D

Hi Tamsin :)

It looks like Ancestry.com.au has a list - the Augusta Jessie was a bounty ship, so with luck, your ancestor's bounty immigration papers may have survived and be digitised (on Ancestry also).

Thanks Marcel - the two Sarah Waters listed on the link you provided were not mine!  Mine travelled on the Augusta Jessie and the two ships mentioned on that link were not that one.

I will keep trying but any other hints would be greatly welcomed.

The only document that has survived for the Augusta Jessie is a partial disposal list of male immigrants.

Did she travel by herself or was she with family?
From familysearch there is a David Waters aged 30 years, a butcher, married with 3 children.
cheers  :)

Hi Marcel

Just found something else - Sarah travelled with David Waters - her uncle.  Her father apparently had already been transported here earlier as a convict.  I am really keen to see how the record is and if her name is attached to that of David Waters.

Thanks Dundee - see David's name there - very happy to see something!

Thanks for all your help everyone. 

Just a quick general query - if I want to find out about convicts (in family) is it best to post on Australian forum or English forum?
