It would appear from the record that these three were travelling together.

Charles Cookram is probably the Charles Cockerham who appears in the 1851 Census living at 39 Newcastle Place Leeds.

He was baptised Charles Cockram 22 May 1836 at Sandal Magna, Yorkshire.

He is mentioned in a number of Australian records as Charles Cockerham.
