Thanks for this site, Bob. Haven't found anyone I want - yet - but it's interesting to see the variety listed. For instance, seamen from Sweden, Germany, Holland, Finland, etc. Also there are many 'vessels' where the Master's wife and/or children were aboard, so if you can't find people that you just KNOW were alive at the time of the Census, you might find them here. Dorothy New Zealand A couple of URLs that may be of interest to someone. Interesting site dealing with the 1881 UK census. A lot of work was put into these files by the transcribers extracting each from the main census. The 1881 Census contains details of many ships in UK ports. These records are useful for tracing seamen and passengers coming into or going out of the country.
