Hello Gideon, Erm .... FIRE QUEEN of Liverpool had ON 49805, not 9805. That little typo got the helpers confused. Her crew list for 1868 is in Liverpool City Library and according to CLIP is also available on Ancestry which you can access for free at many public libraries on their in-house computers. Now ... mind you ... it does not say whether the log from that voyage is also there but you could write to them and ask.

Following considerable research and with much help, five ships on which he was a crew member have been located. I now seem to be within reach of information about his death, and am hopeful that someone can advise me on how to proceed. ........ The British Consul in New Orleans wrote in September 1868: “I hereby certify that the within have been sent the 5th September on board of the named steam ship ‘Fire Queen’ as supernumeries to be conveyed to Liverpool”..........As you will appreciate, I need to confirm his arrival in Liverpool on the SS Fire Queen to establish a new starting point in my search. Many thanks. Gideon Anderson. New Zealand
