"There was a Thomas Clark a passenger on the Tam O’Shanter, but no John Clarke. According to the ‘Register of Emigrtant Labourers Applying for a Free Passage to South Australia’, Thomas was a carpenter and joiner, aged 30 and single, who had been engaged to work in the new Colony by the builder John White. There was in fact a ‘John Clark’, who arrived by the Warrior in 1840. Thomas was recorded as ‘J. Clarke’ in Opie’s ‘South Australian Records Prior to to 1841′, and this entry has since been copied by, for instance, H.J. Finnis in ‘Before the Buffalo’. Thomas’s name was written out in full in the Colonization Commissioners’ records but unfortunately ‘J’s and ‘T’s are usually indistinguishable in manuscript so little store can be placed on a single initial, and the presence or otherwise of a final ‘e’ is a matter of personal choice or perhaps simple misunderstanding. It is certainly clear that there was only one Clark(e) on board the ship."

"It sounds as though the family has good reason to believe their man was on the Tam O’Shanter. However there is no doubt about the name appearing in the official records. One possibility is that the abbreviation ‘Jno’ for John was used at some stage and as Js and Ts are indistinguishable, it is not beyond the imagination to turn ‘Jno’ into ‘Tom’, and then expand the name into a proper ‘Thomas’, as it appears in the records."
