Hi. I am not sure how I found the Ship's journal, but it was very interesting. I think I may have googled the name of the ship and then followed links to journal. But I have a copy of what I found. All three of the listed Howis ancestors aboard (Eliza, James and William were seen by the doctor for dysentery.

Thank you, I will look out for them.

Are you aware that there is quite a bit of information on the Female Convict Research Centre database for Eliza Howis?  You have to register as a member to access it though.

Coming to this a bit late, but....
As far as I know, after their mother (Silvestia b1800ish ) died in 1837, and after a spell in Cuckfield Workhouse, Eliza was eventually deported to Tasmania.
Silvestia ( daughter ) b1827 Lindfield, married Daniel Kemp and was living in a tent on Copthorne common in 1851 ( the parents ages are wrong on the census ).  I say married, but I understand that they didn't actually get married until 1869 in Canterbury, and she used the name Silvester Brooks  !!!!  I guess that Silvestia b1800 and William Henry Howes never did marry and that her name was actual Silvestia Brooks.
Silvestia b1827 and Daniel Kemp had about 13 children, the oldest was again Silvestia, registered as Silvester Howis in Cuckfield in 1843, she was my Great Grandmother.
Daniel Kemp and Silvestia lived at 1 Primrose Ally, Forest Row in 1861 and continued to live in the East Grinstead area.

 Hello There. Thanks for reply. Some interesting info.
Is your Sylvestre the same one that was also in Cuckfield workhouse at one time, Eliza’s sister? I think there were some brothers as well.

On the 1841 census, Silvester was in workhouse at Cuckfield aged 15.  I'm pretty sure that Eliza (Harriss ) and James were in workhouse at Hurtsperpoint aged 9 and 11.

Thanks for that. Do you have any information on their births and parents births. I gather they never married. My Great, great, grandmother was Eliza Howis, who was transported to van Diemen's land and married, had many more children to Frederick Butler. My grandmother ended up living in Auckland New Zealand from teenage years till death. I live in Australia.

Thanks Peter. This son travelled with Eliza as well as a younger son James. All three suffered dysentery on journey to Hobart and one actually died.
