Also on board was William and Ellen Holmes with their nine biological and adopted children.5,6,7,8 They arrived into Sydney on Saturday, 12 February 1842.5,6,7,8

He married Ellen Holmes, daughter of William Hyde Holmes and Ellen O'Donnell, circa 1842 at New South Wales. However, this is open to some speculation as there may be another husband and wife of the same names...1,6 An unknown person provided information on the death of William Hyde Holmes, on 1 July 1864, at 132 Bourke Street, in Sydney. The cause of death was stated as old age.9,10,11,12 William provided information on the death of his mother-in-law Ellen O'Donnell, on 11 January 1865, at Sydney. The cause of death was listed as vomiting of six weeks duration; a doctor had visited the day before..13,14
