Noted events in her life were: • source. Zachary Whitehouse-Moores @ genes • emigrated: on the Cornwall, 1 Sep 1839. Most of the emigration from Woodchurch was financially assisted by the Vestry which started a fund for the purpose. Passengers were seen by a doctor and had to pass various physical tests before they were allowed to board ship, disease like typhus, cholera and dysentery would quickly spread throughout the ship. To prevent the spread of head lice, men and boy's hair would be cut very short, the women and girl's hair would be carefully combed. Living conditions on ships were cramped; space and privacy were hard to come by. The food mundane, three quarts of water, a bowl of soup, boiled potatoes and stringy beef daily. Passengers slept in narrow closely packed bunks bed's sometimes stacked three high, located below deck. Many used their trunks (suitcase) as tables. During storms, the door was latched closed; leaving passengers with little light or fresh air and the overwhelming stench of vomit and full chamber pots, passengers struggled to prevent themselves and their possessions sliding across the deck. If the weather was good, people would try and stay up on the deck were they would celebrate on board marriages and births, dancing and playing games in the fresh air. On leaving the ship they were examined by the doctor and process, sometimes this could take a few days, many slept on the hard floor with just their coats to keep them warm. Those with contagious diseases were sent straight to hospital, were survival rates were grim, shipping companies were responsible for returning any unhealthy people back to their homeland. If they were healthy they were allowed to leave to start their new lives. • connection. 223 Peter Murray's connection to me is as follows: Susannah married James Hukins, son of John Hukins and Elizabeth Crittenden, on 12 Jan 1815 in Woodchurch, Ashford Borough, Kent England.
