She arrived on the Isabella Hercus Jan 1856 aged 21 as a dairy maid

Where did she sail from?

[CaroleW]

born about 1832+-5 years Dumfriesshire

The 1841 census has 22 entries in that age range - none living in Dumfries

When did he die and what age was he when he died?

[CaroleW]

1851 - 24 entries none born or living Dumfries.  If he was a mariner - he may have been at sea when the census was taken
