In 1838 the government of New South Wales agreed to take seven boys (of not less than twelve years of age and of ‘pure European descent ‘) from the [[Orphan Schools in Madras# Madras Military Male Orphan Asylum|Madras Military Male Orphan Asylum]]. The seven boys arrived on the 'Sesostris' in February 1841, their passage arranged and paid for by the East India Company’s Marine Board. The seven boys were Samuel Hobart, James Marlow, John Harris, Christopher Connor, William Bird, James Barry and James MacKin.<ref> ''India, China, Australia: Trade and Society 1788-1850'' pages 86-87, footnotes page 196. The boys details are in India Office Records F/4/1916 (Correspondence Book Entry 82082) at the British Library. </ref> This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2003-12/1071967975 December 2003 post] is about some of those boys.
The following case study might help researchers.
