I guess it is possible the year is incorrect.  I am glad to know that there is actually a ship named the "Sea Bird".  I found it arriving in New York in 1849 but he wasn't on it and your previous email had it arriving in Quebec in 1848 but he wasn't on that manifest either.  I guess I will have to keep searching. Thanks for your help.

I checked the Times for a ship "Seabird" and could not find one sailing to America or Canada. Regards..
