Interesting Lesley, that Lloyds site you provided gives the name of the Master of one of the ships I am researching during that period as different to what I have in my records and as appears on other convict sites. Now another mystery to solve........ Kerri

Hi Kerri The thing is that ships often had more than one Master over the life of a ship and also that there were many ships named the same. I also do not think that the web site I posted is complete - I can guarantee that it isn't.

Kerri I had a quick look at the Lloyds site too. It does have some interesting information. I know that Lloyd's published a register of ships each year and sometimes the details of ownership and captain changed from year to year. I was able to look at some of them in the Maritime Museum (Caird library) a couple of years ago. The site does have the year for the data on each ship so you might have to check that the details refer to the same year as other data you have. Another matter to take into consideration is there may be multiple ships of the same name.
