Thanks Mick I sent your previous email in this regard to on of the ladies who is researching Robert evans from the Budget/Colombo. She has already engaged a researcher . I note from a reasonably new book oon the Meerchant Navy at our Genie rooms today. Crew lists transferred to local repositories (1863 to 1912) I photocopied them there were three pages. For the Liverpool registered Ships. The repository is Liverpool City Record Office. I have told Ellen that . I guess the more information you can gather that is less you have to rely on the researcheer for and hopefully cost less. The fees are huge per hour.
