The National Archives at Kew hold the ships muster books - all men were entered into the book on boarding the ship, as were details of their pay and deductions throughout the voyage. Some of them also contain physical decriptions of the men. I believe the books had to be signed off by the captain. It is possible to track people from ship to ship through their career. |

I was at The National Archives today and checked out Hotspurs out of interest. There seemed to be too many. I found one that went to Oz with a captain Gustave Millins? The voyage was from June 1857 to July 1858. |
