Morning, Awhile back I posted a query about family members traveling from Weymouth to Quebec in 1857 and received some very helpful answers. Mainly that passenger records weren't required to be kept until 1865. What I'm wondering is it possible that a passenger list may have been recorded at the port of departure, which was Weymouth, County of Dorset, England. The family departed Weymouth on 10 April 1857 aboard the "Atlantic" (I don't have her registration number) and the skipper was Captain Barrett. I found the following at: http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/Canada1857a.htm Arrived Quebec 3 June 1857 with 11 passengers. My question is would it be possible that the ships records might be held at The National Archives (TNA) in Kew and may show the passengers? My thinking here is that we found my grandfather's Agreement and Account of Crew and his Apprentice records when he was aboard the "Huron" (Reg. # 61959). They show him being indentured to John Miller Way, owner of the Huron for a period of 4 years at the age of 13. It also shows him deserting on 15 Jan 1879 at Penarth and this leads to my next posting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Richard Hinde Louisa, Virginia
