I have a newspaper cutting about a woman called Mason (no first name) who was found dead by the Postman in Ideford.

John & Eliza applied for Free Passage to South Australia on 22 Apr. 1840, their application No. being 8186. The accounts for ouitfitting the family with clothing and conveying them to Plymouth are extant in the Records of the Overseers of the Poor for Instow. They departed for South Australia aboard the "Brightman" 25 Aug. 1840. During the voyage, Eliza and her dauighter Mary Anne died and were buried at sea. The story of John and his 3 children's arrival and life in South Australia is told in my book "The CAVENETT Family in Australia 1840-1970", copies of which are in the Devon Record Office, the Society of Genealogists' Library, London and various Australian libraries. In addition I donated a copy to the Library of the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City. My QUEST for the past 40 years has been to discover from where John CAVENETT came to Instow, his origin and ancestry. It is indeed an extremely rare surname.
