• source. Jennie Morgan [jennie.morgan@bigpond.com]who writes:
As of 27th July 2009 I have not been able to find any record of Matilda Dawes/Samuel Passau marriage. The family story is that they met and married on the ship 'Orient' on the way to Sydney. There is no record of the marriage in the ship log. The ship 'Orient' was 596 tons. It left London 14th November 1838 and arrived in Sydney on 4 April 1839. The Masters name was Douglas Wales. The ship touched at Cape of Good Hope and sailed on 9th February 1839, but no passengers came on board. There were 304 immigrants on board and 41 crew members. 7 Children died on the trip and 2 children were born. There were no bill of health issues.
Also listed on the log of the 'Orient' is Matilda's brother George Dawes aged 36, along with his wife, Louise, son George age 6, daughter Mary Ann, age 12, daughter Anne, aged 10, daughter Ellen, aged 8, daughters Kitty and Dennise, aged 4, and infant born 15 Nov 1838 the day after the ship left London. Other members of the family arrived the following year.
Matilda Passau (nee Dawes) death certificate says married in Sydney when she was aged 21 years. Her name is sighted on the Death Certificate of Charles Samuel Passau as being his wife and married in Sydney when he was aged 23 years. According to Matilda's Death Certificate Frederick Charles Passau was their only surviving child and there was a deceased female child (date born/died unknown).

Samuel Charles Passau death Certificate gives age at marriage as 23 years. This would make it 1841. It also says he had been in NSW 42 years which would make his arrival as 1839, the same year Matilda Dawes arrived on the ship 'Orient' as an unmarried female immigrant.
However there is no listing on the 'Orient' for Samuel Passau.
