Hi List, I am trying to find if my ancestor Frederick Colepeper was Master on any more merchant ships after a voyage ending in early 1842. I do have the crew list of Frederick being Master on the 'Carleton' from 1840-1842 London - Singapore, then Hong King and back to Singapore and London. I found the information from Lloyds List. His earliest voyage I can find was on was the 'Asia' 1827 3rd Mate, 'Sir Charles Forbes' 1830 3rd Officer (both these ships were convict ships to Tasmania from London). There are five more ships mentioned in his service record on BT 112/14 National Archives between 1836-1839 - Ships Carpenter on all of these. >From the information I have all these voyages were to the Far East or West Indies. He died in 1848 six years after the 'Carleton' voyage aged 42, but I cannot find him on other voyages in Lloyds List. If he reverted to a lower rank than Master after 1842, can anyone suggest a way of finding him on later voyages. Any help would be appreciated. regards Valerie Richards
