The index covers only those emigrants who came directly to New South Wales (Australia) and Moreton Bay (Queensland) from Ireland or England , under the “assisted immigration” schemes of the day .
It doesn’t show people who fully paid their own passage (e.g. to seek gold) , or who were convicts .
6. Entitlement certificates of persons on bounty ships, 1832-42, CGS 5314
(4/4825-91; microfilm copy SR Reels 1286-1349). 67 vols.
Each certificate records the name of the ship and the ship's agent; and the native place,
calling, age, health, religion and name of the immigrant. Each is endorsed with a
character reference and a certificate of baptism.
After 1841, the certificates are standardised, and are accompanied by a surgeon's report.
The latter is a detailed analysis of events on board the ship, the length of the voyage and
the size of the ship. Specific questions about the conduct and health of the migrants were
required to be answered. This analysis was designed to discover practices likely to
endanger the physical and moral wellbeing of the immigrants.
