JANE BARNARD was born 1821, and died 1857 in Christchurch.

She and sister Ann Barnard travelled on the barque, Oriental, 500 tons, J C Macey from London. It was one of the first five ships sent out to New Zealand by the New Zealand Land Company. In addition to her voyages to Wellington and New Plymouth, she made further passages to Lyttelton, Auckland, Nelson and Dunedin.

Auckland, 25 February 1856: Passengers - Ann and Jane Barnard.

The barque Oriental, Captain Macey, arrived in harbour on Monday at 2.20pm after a pleasant passage of 108 days. The Oriental sailed from Gravesend on the 4 November; touched at Portsmouth, on her way down Channel, and took her departure thence on the 9 November. It was reported at Portsmouth that the Northern side of Sebastopol had been taken by the allies. The passage of the Oriental proved to be a remarkably fine one; she experienced moderate weather throughout, there never having been occasion to reef topsails.

On the 13 December, the Equator was crossed. And on the 4 January the ship passed within sight of the island of Tristan d' Acunha. In latitude 26 degrees South, longitude 30 degrees West she spoke to the ship "Harriett Humbolt", from Liverpool, bound to Callao. She passed to the southward of Tasmania and made The Three Kings on the 20 at 6.00am.
