This is only a part of the passenger list."^[13]. Two points of note:

• It's interesting Jane declared that they intended to become inhabitants of the United States.
• Jane's paternal grandmother was a Hay - is it just coincidence a Robert Hay is a fellow passenger?

Note: John Cockburn was at the address in 1841 census. No occupation shown or whether lodger. Presumably this is wife Jane's brother or other relation.
