travelling on the BUFFALO from England to South Australia in 1836
A typescript copy of the original list held in the Colonial Secretary's Office in London.
Annotations to the typescript were made by the archivist who processed the record. Individual passengers have been grouped together as members of families, with the age of children recorded as either under or over 15 years.
The annotations sometimes give references to related material, including inscriptions on the original document by Sir John Hindmarsh. Source: D7454
Family names include Hindmarsh, Fisher, Stevenson, Howard, Strangways, Sladdon, Breaker, Moore, Cock, Bennet, Chittleborough, Middleton, Oakley, Harvey, Abbot, Walker, Broadbent, Adams, Ferguson and many others totalling 173 passengers.
Many of the women and children lived on board the vessels while the men built houses of reeds at Holdfast Bay (Glenelg) and then in the vicinity of Adelaide. Some who came out on the HMS BUFFALO set up temporary shelters in Buffalo Row on the north-western corner of the proposed city, others settled in Forbes Square in the West Parklands, while others established Coromandel Row a little to the east of Buffalow Row. These 'ship' settlements enabled friendships established on the voyage to continue.
