A transcribed passenger list shows a Robert, 24, carpenter of Caithness with a 20 yr old Nancy (sic) and 1 yr old George.
As George was shown as a 1 yr old grdchild with his grdparents in Wick, Caithness on 30 Mar 1851, the family must have had a quick dash down the country to leave, but apart from Robert's wife name being shown as Nancy rather than Ann, this does fit known information. None of the other passengers listed are from Caithness, and Scottish families are decidedly in the minority[11][12]
Robert McAdie, head 23 joiner journeyman; wife Ann Mason 22; both b Wick, CAI; Lodgers: Benjamin Dunbar 19 apprentice plumber b Wick; Robert Morison 17 apprentice joiner b Watten (although the image does show this latter as Morison, I haven't been able to find Robert Manson, joiner anywhere else, so I believe this is actually Robert Manson, especially as he later married in Edinburgh and is 1st cousin to Robert McAdie)[17][18]
