I am researching my grandfathers family and his great grand mother, Catherine Cummings, (that's the spelling I have for the surname but I realize that it could have been Cummins), came to Australia in 1834 on the ship the 'Canton' on the ship with her was a Mary Cummings. All I have on her is that she boarded the ship in Cork Ireland. On the passenger list i have for her first name is spelt as 'Cathlen'. Other information i have for her is,
"1834 CANTON to NSW including some House of Industry Girls." Some where in my records her age was listed as 15 when she arrived in Australia but I haven't confirmed that.
Once in Australia her records show that the 'G' was dropped from her last name.
She married Edmund Nye in 1837 in Sydney Australia.
I hope that's enough information for someone to help me find more about Catherine Cummings.
If any more information require please let me know.
