Having left London, on or about the 17th September 1841 from the East Indian Docks, the Mary Ann, a 600 ton barque, set sail in a flotilla, including the Fifeshire, Lord Auckland and Lloyds, for the twenty week voyage to New Zealand, pausing for more favorable weather in the Downs, off the Kent coast till the 24th September 1841. Captained by Thomas Bolton accompanied by Surgeon Superintendent, Charles John Robert Cook. Aboard in steerage class were James Henry, his wife Louiza and Eliza their six year old daughter, bound for Nelson, New Zealand on assisted passage 3592. They arrived in Nelson, on the South Island, on February 8th 1842.

Louiza gave birth two days latter, aboard ship, to James Henry Augustus. After settling Louiza gave birth to William, in 1845 and Louiza in 1848 unfortunately this year proved a disaster for James and his family, for William died of dropsy and Louiza died a few days after birth, followed three months later by her mother.
