The Hashemy - arrived in WA in 1850 with 131 passengers and 100 convicts, including the family below, as part of the Pensioner Guards and Families ^[5]

Trayhorne Emma | 5 child

From FamilySearch records, it appears that this couple had eight children; 5 daughters, and three sons; and only the girls surving to adulthood, marrying with children in Perth. The two infant sons were James and Richard. The two girls not listed in the Hashemy, were 18, and 17 years, old enough to be counted as others (or, perhaps servants for another passenger - Captain Bruce).
