- Ross, Sorry I am currently in Salt Lake City and all my information is back in Brisbane, Queensland where I live. They do not have the passenger lists of the 'Calcutta' here in the Family History Library but I have asked a friend to check it out for me at the Brisbane State Library. My initial information came from Beryl White and Helen Macmannim regarding Rebecah Trafford and John Heath back in 2003 and I do not have any attachments to my PAF file about them.
