On 01 October 1842 they arrived in Tasmania on the APOLLINE with John's brother:

Eliza, born ca. 1834.
William, born ca. 1836.

On the shipping record all are said to be from London, except Jane and Mary Ann who are from Newmarket, Cambridge.
John Dunn Whitbourn is described as a sawyer on the shipping record.
William Henry Whitbourn is a shoemaker.

I have found William and Eliza on the 1841 census at Georges Place, parish of St Mary, Borough of Lambeth.

I suspect that John and Susan are in London too. However they have strong links with Cambridge
and many of the children's death certificates claim birth in Cambridge.
