Misses Royes arrive in Sydney This record raises the question as to whether Edward sailed with his sisters, or was already in Sydney where he was cabin boy on the Surry 26 Nov 1831 (aged 15).
A vessel named the Bencoolen of 416 tons was built in 1818 and wrecked in 1844 near Liverpool, England, with the loss of at least 13 lives. Is this the same Bencoolen on which Maria, Edward and Emily Royes sailed to Sydney in 1838?

Notes |
- 23 Jan 1838 arrived Sydney on the Bencoolen with sister Maria.
The Wikipedia article on Mark Bell states: "...his family travelled to England when he was an infant." The move would have taken place after 30 Oct 1848 when she acquired land at Botany, and before the 1851 Channel Islands census when the family is at St Helier, Jersey - so 1849-50 - when Mark is aged 6-7?
In the 1861 census her household included son Hutchinson, daughter Emily Elizabeth, son John, daughter Anne and niece Ellen Turner, with one visitor (probably a fellow student of Hutchinson) and three servants. Note the absence of George and Mark.
In the 1871 census an Emily Smith aged 47 has two daughters Elizabeth 26 and Anne 22 Bell, born in Australia. She also has step children:
Fanny Smith 14, Howard Smith 12, Agnes Smith 11 and Ernest Smith 9. There is a reference in Yseult Bridges' How did Charles Bravo Die? to Mary Hougham (Royes) Bravo having a sister married to Henry Smith.

 | Miss (Emily?) Royes arrives in Sydney This report refers to just one Royes arrival and has to be either Maria or Emily. If accurate, this challenges our current data that Maria, Emily and Edward arrived the same day. |
Overviews |
 | 1700 ROYES The earliest known Royes - John We had previously identified John Royes 1752-1832 as our earliest Royes. We then identified his father as William Royes - no information about birth or marriage.
We have information that a William Royes was born in 1723 in Lincolnshire. But John 1752 was born in, worked, married and died in Canterbury, Kent. So this link is uncertain though not impossible. Lincolnshire William's wife is Sarah Taylor and his parents were John and Mary Royes. |
