Mary Ann (age unknown), sailed from Gravesend 11 September 1841, with her mother (Ann) and siblings Alfred, at aged 9, Adolphus aged 7, and Edgar aged 5, on the ship “Lloyds”. However, Mary Ann died on board. Her father had travelled earlier on the ship “Will Watch” arriving in Nelson on 4 November 1841.

When the Lloyds came into Nelson, it brought with it many stories of sickness and death. While travelling the seas between Port Gravesend in England and Port Nicholson in New Zealand, 67 children under the age of 14 died due to an outbreak of whooping cough on board. Many at the time blamed the surgeon on the Lloyds. Shipboard health had been the responsibility of a ship's surgeon since 1803, when the English Parliament passed a law that made every vessel of 50 persons or more to carry with it a surgeon. This Act of Parliament was brought about because too many voyages at that time were ending badly with many illnesses and casualties on board the ships.
