Hi List, I am hoping to go to the NA to look at BT 107 Transcripts and Transactions series 1 of the Ships Registries. I am looking for details of a ship 'CARLETON' sailing sometime in 1840. I have a record of the ship sailing from April 1841 to the far east returning Dec 1842 and have Crew List and Agreement, but would like to find out about a voyage that took place just before this and who was the owner and master of that sailing. Abi has mentioned that Fredk Colepeper was on an earlier voyage of the same ship. When I was researching for the crew list and agreement of this ship a few years ago, I only found one crew list and agreement for the 'Carleton' as mentioned above. I telephoned the NA to ask about these crew lists today and was told that there could be crew lists and agreements for the same ship in other files? Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this. kind regards Valerie

Hi Valerie, I have found one or two more mentions of the Carleton, under a variation of the spelling - Carlton - but she's clearly the same ship.  She entered out through customs at London for Singapore on the 12 March 1841, and as I said before was cleared outwards on the 24 April.  On the 7 February 1842 she was then reported under "China Shipping" as having arrived from SIngapore on the previous 21 October, but I assume this was at a Chinese port.  She was again reported as having arrived at Gravesend from Singapore on the 29 December 1842. These reports are all rather disjointed, and there is never mention of Colpeper, but I hope these pieces may help in your jigsaw puzzle.

Hello Peter, Thank you also for this further information on the Carleton. This does appear to be the same ship as one of the crew joined the ship in Hong Kong December 1841. The date on the Agreement was 30th December 1842 which was day it arrived in London. I found by trawling through Lloyd's List the entry of Fredk Colepeper in the 1840/41 edition. kind regards Valerie Richards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Klein" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2013 5:19 PM Subject: Re: [MAR] Transcrips/transactions - 'Carleton' Hi Valerie, I have found one or two more mentions of the Carleton, under a variation of the spelling - Carlton - but she's clearly the same ship.
