Elizabeth RENWICK

[popsit]

Hello,
I have details of a ship arriving in Australia (victoria) with a passenger named Elizabeth Renwick. She is aged 38 on the ship Marco Polo in September 1852. Other info I have that might be of help or not is book 8 page 180.I am looking for more info on her if possible. Where from, who she might have married once in Australia etc. Any info at all will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

It would help to know who you think she might be.

Being aged 38, Renwick could be a married name.

Is it Eliza RENWICK 38, who arrived on the Marco Polo with James RENWICK, 36, ag lab,  and Jane 9, and William 3, RENWICK? Their native place is listed as Antrim. The disposal list says that they went with Mr Chan, Geelong.
Arrival date:   20 Sep 1852, Hobsons Bay Victoria, Australia
Departure Port:   Liverpool

Someone on Ancestry has suggested that the surname should be RENNICK, but it looks like RENWICK to me although the ink is a bit blurry.

And Isabella aged 1.

I think you are correct, Judith, as there are RENNICK deaths that fit what you have suggested, but not RENWICK.

How odd - no Isabella on this list:
Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839-1923
United Kingdom Immigrants 1850-1854

but there she is on this one - Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839-1923, British 1852

The first has more information on it - native place, disposal, etc  while the second is mostly just a passenger list.

His death?

I wonder if the reason Isabella is not on the other list revolves around perhaps it being a mess list, and/or associated with fees and charges etc ... I have just two families arriving via Victorian ports so I am not reliable on interpreting these Victoria passenger lists, but I know from transcribing many NSW passenger lists that so many infants were not even named and were not 'paying passengers' as they were fed by mum.
