They were both buried in the Parish of St James, Melbourne and there are no details of the cause of their deaths on their Death CertificatesHowever, found in the Victorian Public Record Office Series 19 (Inward correspondence, Supt. Port Phillip, C.J. LaTrobe) unit/box no. 17, letter 41/1129, dated 6 Aug 1841, when Dr Paterson reported that from the "England", 4 women and 3 men, who were in need of medical treatment, had been placed in tents on arrival and one of these was Sarah Booth.

The Bounty namesIn this ship list, people are classified families or single male or single female, and I have numbered them in list order.
