Genealogy for David Ronald Blake

Ancestry of Blake, Barker, Wade, Jervies, Holdsworth,
Selina Nicholson and the Convict ship Augusta Jessie

I am very keen to discover more details (incl. PHOTOS) about these families and in particular pictures and details of the ship Augusta Jessie, a three masted barque which carried convicts to Australia in the mid 1800's.

One of my ancestors, Eliza Wade was born on the ship Augusta Jessie as it rounded The Cape of Good Hope on a voyage to Tasmania in 1834. Her Father was George Wade of the 50th regiment of Foot on his way to the convict colony.
