Notes - John and Rebecca Pettit left England with seven children (from "Gilmore" shipping list, and Battye Library, and Dictionary of Western Australians). They arrived with eight children, with James being named eighth. This should prove that James was born on board the Gilmore.
The Western Australians Dictionary states that James was born in England, and also lists a John Henry Gilmore Pettit, baptised at Clarence, Western Australia in March 1830. As eldest son was already named John this seems most unlikely, but the baptismal entry has been verified. However a suggestion has been made that the French pronunciation of James is "Jom". Certainly he lived, married and was buried as James Henry Gilmore Pettit. A grandson states that James was born aboard Gilmore at Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
