      ------------------------------
      Note that the passenger list for the Aurora shows a Rowland T Davis, 9yo in 1839 (hence dob 1830) and no Richard Davis, who, if the Rowland mentioned in the Davis Journal, died in 1838 before the family left London.
      Is the 'T' for Teape?
      Are the Journal names transposed? NO. The Journal author was himself, Richard Davis.
