	Hi, I have found the ships log that has your all of that family on board, it appears that it was a LDS ship as it states that 422 Saints were on board. It sailed on the 24/11/1855 but turned back because of bad weather, it resailed on the 07/12/1854, after leaving Liverpool in Dec. there was a measles outbreak which killed 20 children and 2 adults. If you email me direct by clicking on my name with your email address I will send you the log page. Regards Joan.
