List of Emigrants selected by Mr. J.B.
Wilcocks per Bussorah Merchant
For many years Mr. James B. Wilcocks was the chief
Agent for the Emigration Commissioners, for the west
of England, based at Plymouth. He selected Emigrants
for Australia and British North America. He had long
been engaged in Australian emigration, both
as a Government service and for private self-supporting
emigration.
Mr. Wilcock's list below, numbered 48/1B, is undated,
but contains the names of many of the emigrants who are
known to have sailed to South Australia aboard the
Bussorah Merchant. It contains names
of some indicated above simply as "wife" or "child"
but also contains names
which don't appear on the list above, some of whom
could possibly be alternate, or more likely, the correct
spellings of some emigrant names. Those who didn't
sail on this
ship, may have sailed earlier or later, on another
vessel. |
