Barbara, what sort of information are you looking for ? Do you have the names of ships he worked on in Australia ? Have you tried the SHIPPING ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES collections ? cheers Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Ellis Sent: Friday, November 11, 2011 9:27 AM To: MARINERS@rootsweb.com Subject: [MAR] J R Middleton Dear List Members, Further to my posting about Joseph Richard Middleton, I have gathered a little more information. He arrived in Australia in 1836, being noted as a first officer in the India trade. He remained in Australia until 1844, and two years after his return he was noted as a master mariner on a baptism certificate. If I have the correct brother, he was reputed to have bought a ship. I could not find anything in the India Office records that would help. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction?
