Sorry, listers, I didn't fully read the enquiry and missed the important
"Assisted", so I have to ADD, for that listing:

There were "Nominal lists", those listing passengers particulars as they
travelled to Australia.
Then there were "Disposal lists" listing the person who employed them the
length of time of the contract, the wage to be paid, whether rations were
included. The spelling & ages were not always the same in each list.

Assisted immigrants were listed in groups : married couples & young
children, single males (14 years plus) and single females (14 years plus)
They were also physically separated on board, and the children (14 years
plus) were not necessarily employed by the same employer as their parents.

I've deleted the original message, sorry, but if you email me privately
with the information (names, ages, ship name, year & month, microfiche
number & page number), I'll check my old microfiche of the actual shipping
lists to which that information relates and see if I can answer your actual
query.
