A Free passage to paradise? : passenger lists of United Kingdom emigrants who applied for free passage to South Australia 1836-1840

Not everybody who applied came to South Australia under the free passage scheme. If there is an embarkation number on the application then you know that they did come. Using the embarkation numbers Pat Button was able to work out which ship that people arrived on and this information is contained in the book. Sometimes when there is not a passenger list available you can find out which ship a person arrived on and what date by consulting the book.
