I puzzled over the "Margaret Bushby". The item is strangely worded. I wondered if Margaret referred to the daughter?
Familysearch has a record of the arrival but the wording reflects the newspaper article. I recall Familysearch has records based on a trawl through Trove records rather than the actual ship's manifest (but this of course could be another senior moment!!). Was hoping the poster could clarify."dyfal donc a dyr y garreg"

I had a look earlier at the lists on one of the SA websites, forget which one. Catherine was named as Mrs Bushby (no name).The three children were Janet, Mary Buchanan and William. Margaret was described as Miss Margaret Bushby 19, so I think she is a grown up daughter. William was actually described as farmer age 16. The other two girls described as child.

I agree with your thoughts on the passenger list, Miss Margaret, Janet and William were children of John's first marriage to Isabella Bates. Mary Buchanan Bushby was born Circa 1843 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Do you think there is a way to seek out a birth certificate for Mary?

I will take all your helpful suggestions and do some more digging. Having spoken to my mother many years ago I recall she told me the "Buchanan" as part of her christian name was to carry on the "family" name which had been given to her grandmother to maintain my mother's great-grandmothers family name. ( I think that makes sense?)
