I think Thomas but not sure of Henry's occupation. Maybe Interpreter?

Ha! Why yes, I did mean 1858 not 1585!

"Dr Howard and wife" left on Emma Eugenia from Australia to Singapore on 6 July 1858. I was hoping to find someone with this list (or where to find it) so I could check if "Dr. Howard" is John Simpson Howard, and Mary Ann (Sheehan) Howard his wife.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/66009327?searchTerm=Howard&searchLimits=exactPhrase%7C%7C%7CanyWords%7C%7C%7CnotWords%7C%7C%7CrequestHandler%7C%7C%7CdateFrom&fbclid=IwAR2QDpzynZYuFZA_a6FLxSHAgpN9ojkObSm-TQOCpciudIMRwrgYayHtFa0

Does two months for the arrival in Singapore seem excessive? Perhaps stops on the way?
I saw the ship mentioned in an entry "in the harbour" rather than "arrived"
for August 28th, so it may have arrived much earlier and was waiting to for cargo before departing for China. I've not found any passenger list.

On 08 July 1585 the Emma Eugenia went on to Singapore. A "Dr. Howard and wife" were passengers on this leg of the voyage. Does anyone have the passenger list or know where I should look for this? I am looking for Dr. John Simpson Howard and wife Mary Ann (Sheehan) Howard. Thanks!

Did you mean 08 July 1858 or 1585? If 1858, you might try http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Search?ST=1&AT=search&k=%22Emma%20Eugenia%22 which mentioned the Emma Eugenia arriving 2nd September 1858. However I'm not sure it would have taken nearly 2 months to get there from Fremantle.

Australia / Convicts to Western Australia
« on: Sunday 28 July 19 05:44 BST (UK)  »
As a volunteer project for the East Perth Cemeteries website, I have written biographies for the following convicts who were transported to Western Australia.

William Rhodes 1820-1891 Convict No. 1498
George Steel 1824-1865 Convict No.282
John Richards 1823-1897 Convict No. 453
John Sellinger or Salinger 1832-1906 Convict No. 2400
George Ryder or Rider 1824-1889 Convict No. 972
Joseph Ledger or Sowden 1824-1895 Convict No. 7551

I am happy to share these stories if it will help anyone in their research. :)

Hello. for those that have access to the Emma Eugenia passenger list arriving Fremantle in 1858, could you please confirm Susanah Murphy was on it. In the 1859 census she says that she was and that she was from Tyrone. She would be about 22yo as she says she was 24 in the census. Any information appreciated, free/convict etc. She married a ticket of leaver in 1866 after her first husband died so she herself may have been one. Regards Phil

That was going to be my next suggestion, so I'm glad you've got it sorted. :)

You could always try a SPOTLIGHT search for Kaspersky (magnifying glass top right of screen) and it will find whatever files are remaining and where they are. You can then manually move the files to the trash. I have high sierra, but I'm guessing it's no different in Mojave.

Try going to your SYSTEM PREFERENCES and clicking on USERS AND GROUPS. A window should appear with current user (you). On the right hand side of the window you should see 2 headings, one saying PASSWORDS and the other LOGIN  ITEMS. Click on the Login items and see if if Kaspersky is there. If so, click on it and then click on the minus sign (-) bottom left to get rid of it. Then SAVE.
