	Trying to determine arrival in Australia, and by what ship, of Joanna ( aka Johanna) Jane Pearse.. born Celland, Lezant 21 Dec 1827, baptized 7/11/1828, registered in Lezant, daughter of Geddie Pearse ( died 10/4/1832 ) and Mary, nee Lane ( died 28/4/1832 Cornwall). Joanna emigrated to Australia circa 1836 / 37 ( from her death record.. 68 years in New South Wales) , and married Samuel Bray in 1844 ( Hill End, Bathurst NSW ). She died 31/12/1904 at Bathurst NSW. Have not been able to find any record of her arrival.. She may have been in the company of her half brother, 1812 Thomas, who also “appears” to have arrived circa 1836 ( Thomas a son of Geddie & his first wife Grace Sargent ) married Mary Bray, nee Lane, registered at Bodmin 31/7/1836.. perhaps just weeks before emigrating... Appreciate any advices
