A diary entry of one of the other emigrants, Mr J T Morris, reads
"December 24 - Another stormy day. Shipping water every moment. One sea
filled the whole belly of the mainsail and then plumbed down the main
hatchway. Mr Double's child died this afternoon and was buried directly
afterwards. Wind fell off about 8 p.m. Ship rolling fearfully. Southern
lights, or Aurora Australis very plain after dark."

GENERATION 6
William, Sarah and family were living together with brother George, Sarah and family in 1851.
They emigrated to Timaru New Zealand in 1858 on the sailing ship "Strathallan", leaving from Gravesend arriving in Timaru 82 days later in company with sister 8 Jane and her husband Robert Scarf. They travelled steerage with the sexes segregated, as "government immigrants".
Robert and Harriet followed William and Sarah with Jane and Robert Scarfe to New Zealand on board the "Clontarfe" which left England on 25 Nov 1859 and arrived in Timaru, South Island New Zealand on 16 Mar 1860.
Robert Scarf's sister Jane with her husband Thomas HILLS had emigrated the previous year on the "Roehampton", and the Double family's emigration doubtless followed good reports from Thomas and Jane who settled in Rangiora.
William became a farmer and was described as a freeholder owning 20 acres of land (section 1946 near Timaru) in the 1862 electoral roll. You can see a website about the journey and landing, with a picture of the boat here. 16 Elizabeth Ann died on the journey aged 8 months (not 8 years as stated on the website). Sarah is shown on the 1893 Womens Electoral Roll as a widow at Timaru
And an entry in the same diary says "TIMARU AT LAST! 5 houses in sight."
