Hi Robert,
My records show Elizabeth Pearn, domestic age 22 from Jersey, England(hard to read on shipping records?) departed Plymouth on Gloucester 30/4/1852 arrived Port Adelaide 13/8/1852.She died 16/5/98 age 68 at Bowden SA which corresponds to her being 22 when she departed Emgland.
I'm still unsure about the Jersey.I have looked at UK census records but for the moment I've misplaced them.I think there was a Betsy Pearn in Jersey, but from one census to the next the spelling for the whole family changed from Pearce to Pearn, which could account for some of the discrepancies.I think that I also saw the spelling as Parn in another record.
It's been a couple of years since I've done any genealogy so Ill have to dig out my notes and get back to it.
Regards
