Margaret Many thanks for that I have a poor quality image of the MS list so the newspaper is very useful in correcting my Transcription and for reconstructing parts where the MS List is obscured, but there are still some discrepancies and I think some of the Passengers would have been upset one way or the other (especially the ones that changed sex or Marital status!) I have a number of questions about the Passenger list, I hope this is a suitable forum to get answers or guidance. Question 1 There is something slightly strange (to my mind) that it appears that apart from the Bishop's wife there are no Married ladies in Cabin (according to the MS list Steerage Passengers start at Thomas Petty), even to the point where Mr Henry Lumsdaine appears to be travelling with 3 sons and a Daughter, but no Wife. Does anyone have sufficient experience with Passenger lists from the period to say if would this be a normal state of affairs on an Emigrant ship? Is the Bishop shepherding young single ladies out to Sydney to increase the size of his flock? ;-) Question 2 Considering the recent Movie "Master and Commander" are these roles the same? The Flyer advertising the departure named one man as Commander, but on arrival a different name appears as Master on the Passenger list and again as Captain in the Newspaper "debt disclaimer"? Note it appears the departure was delayed, perhaps the Commander fell ill and had to be replaced? If anyone is looking for folks on this voyage I have prepared a page displaying the discrepancies at www.smee.me.uk/camden.htm Thanks again Pete -----Original Message----- From: MargM [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 02 August 2008 14:44 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [TSL] The Camden UK to Australia 1836 - Info on ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Smee" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2008 10:53 PM Subject: [TSL] The Camden UK to Australia 1936 > Does any one have the passenger list (or know where it is > transcribed?) for > the Voyage of the Camden that arrived in Port Jackson on 2nd June > 1836?
