Having looked at the passenger list there is not much doubt that (apart from G.Kear, of course) the other members of the family are marked as female. Bearing in mind the scribe's lettering and abbreviation habits I would have said the names might be:-

Ma = Maria ? (b 1821 by inference)
Hh = Hannah ? (b 1840)
My = Mary ? (b 1842)
Ce = Charlotte ? (b 1844)
La = Louisa ? (b 1849)

Question then would be is there a potential family originating in the Forest?

All I can offer is:-

Record 31454 Entry 908 for a Hannah
Record 31492 Entry 946 for a Mary
Record 115328 Entry 673 for a Charlotte

As for the 4th child? Born on the voyage?

I guess this is all a bit speculative but it might be possible.
