I am looking for information on William Sherriff and his wife Mary Shirriff? who immigrated to South Australia. I have found reference to the name Sherriff on the Royal George 1847 and the Georgiana 1839 and am trying to determine which ship William (born C1806 Scotland) and Mary (born 1815 Scotland) actually came to Port Adelaide on.

There was a William Sherriff and wife on the Georgiana. (Did you only have the name Sherriff with no christian name?)

Google: "Georgiana" arriving Australia, 1839." At the top of a list that comes up, click "of ships arriving in 1839" Scroll down until you see the "Georgiana" on the left of the page..

It gives: William Sherriff, 30, Agricultural Labourer, and wife.

The ship left Leith, Scotland on 14 March 1839 and arrived Port Adelaide 28 Aug 1839.

Hope this helps a little,
Brian
