Notes - The Unassisted Passengers lists show that a Mansfield family travelled to Australia on the "Gipsy Bride" in March 1857. There was Thomas age 40, Mary age 40, William age 25, Catherine age 22, Mary age 18, John age 17, Dora age 10, Richard age 8 and Thomas age 6. Although there are some discrepancies, this appears to be our family.
A Caroline Cross died 1923 in Coburg, aged 79. Her parents were John Mansfield and Bridget O'Keefe (registration no 1186). It is not yet confirmed that this was the daughter of John Mansfield and Mary O'Keefe.

I have now obtained the death certificate for Caroline Cross. She died 6 January 1923 at 18 Station Street, City of Coburg. Her father was John Mansfield, farmer, and her mother was listed as Bridget O'Keefe. The informant was her grandson Cyril Ernest Eagar, of 18 Station St Coburg. She was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and had lived in Victoria for 56 years. She married 1st William Eagar in County Kerry, Ireland, at the age of 20, and there were two children: Elizabeth age 56 and Caroline age 55. She married 2nd Ben Cross in Gippsland Victoria.
