Death numbers

[edit]

It's a shame that the article has such poor inline referencing. I've added some sources for the second journey. I also note that from mid-April 1860, there were advertisements calling for funds for seven orphans:

The father and mother of a family named Rouse, who arrived in the Clontarf, have lately died, leaving seven children. Persons desirous of assisting these orphans are invited to transmit the sums they may collect to the care of the Rev. B. W. Dudley, at Rangiora. April 16, 1860.

It doesn't say that the deaths were related to the voyage. But I thought I'd document this here. Schwede66 03:22, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
