Hello list . . . I understand that the vessel MARY THOMSON ( or THOMPSON ) plied between Wellington and several South Island ports on a regular basis during the 1850's.    I have been searching for a list of passengers who were on the sailing which arrived in Nelson on 2nd May 1856 but have had no success - even on Papers Past.   Does anyone have a listing at all, or any access to this passenger list?    Or can direct me to a website to search?   Thanks in advance,   Beth
