I have been researching the name James Black, who was lost overboard from the Victoria and Albert, an ordinary seaman between the 1871 census date and the March, 1876 date of his sisters wedding. Another option was the name James Wallace, same details. He is not found in the 1881 census. Family lore is he was lost overboard in rough weather from the Queen's yacht. I would appreciate any details available to search for crew lists of this yacht, or to view ships log.
