That's me Pam, although I didn't know I had said anything about it to the Sutherland list!! Thanks for thinking of me, though in this case it is actually my transcription of the log and the muster roll of the Weymouth that appears on the Ships List. Actually if your ancestors emigrated around 1820 it might be of interest to view the log even if your ancestors went to USA or Australia, as it gives you an idea of how long it took and what they had to eat etc. I'm lucky to have been able to go to the PRO and study the actual log of the ship my 3 x great grandfather Philip Hobbs (not from Sutherland) emigrated on - a rare treat. I know the journey can't have been a rare treat for Charity Hobbs as she embarked on the voyage while pregnant and with two small children, lost one child on board to a measles epidemic and then gave birth to a daughter at sea who lived for only three weeks.
