Hello Mary,

Ian Wynd has written a book on J D Lang's Immigration Scheme - 3 ships to
Vic, 3 to Qld, and some passengers on a ship to NSW.

Ian had pretty much finished his book before he died last year. It is in
final stages of indexing for publishing this year. It includes what I
believe is the most comprehensive list of passengers for the ships in Lang's
Scheme.

Sorry - I haven't found any information yet on the Larpent descendants group
but hopefully someone here can help.

Until the index is complete I can't confirm exactly what's in the book - but
you neglected to mention any name so that didn't help much!

Regards ......... Susie Z

> The Larpent was the first ship chartered under a J. D Lang immigration
scheme which arrived in Geelong in 1849. J.D.Lang purchased land in
Australia then returned to England and sold the land in ten and twenty acre
farms with a passage to Australia to these The Larpent passengers.
