Hi. I have done some work on Coleman re the deceased brother Samuel on the Coromandel in 1838. It seems John arrived with family on Augusta Jessie in Oct 1837. No decent shipping record has survived that states parent names. I have sighted the 1887 death cert for John. It has one major issue...the informant son John has named his parents, John and Harriet as the parents of John Coleman snr. Makes it difficult to determine if the 1887 deceased John is the John Coleman whose parents were Samuel and Mary and is who I am looking for. I think he is but with such bad info on death cert makes it impossible to prove.
