Looking to explore a Rel's career at sea and though have detail of several voyages, from New South Wales crew lists. Wondered whether there were other such lists that might add detail.. Samuel Woonton ( often misspelt ) born in Jersey in 1850.. Seems to have worked the UK / South America / Australia & New Zealand run though may have started out in Jersey or had brief employment in the Australia / New Zealand trade, from the mid 1860's through to 1890, even '91. Stayed in Sail through this time, no transition to steam.. Any tips, leads etc appreciated. |

Yes Chris.. that's Sam.. got the detail from the NSW register / seaman's engagement on Ancestry.. seems to have lots of gaps so was looking for alternate lists, sources. |

Hi Margee. Yes, the ‘Earl Dalhousie’, July 1878, and prior to that, July 1877, in New South Wales, transcribed as Wanton, aboard the ‘Bunowdale’ with a year in between.. time enough for another voyage |

I know it's not what you were looking for but in case you haven't got it this is his baptism record. |
