Sorry folks, I think I have confused everybody. The Thos Lynch I'm interested in was on the Waverley in 1841. He was 17 and got his ticket in 1845. There is a line through the bottom of his record, and something is written there. That was what I was having trouble deciphering. This is the link http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON33-1-12,1 86,110,F,60 Or you can get to it through the Archives' Name Index page. Thanks for everyone who had a go and apologies to Trish, who went to so much trouble. Regards Susan If this is not clear, ignore it.
