Hi Jamboesque, perhaps I´ve missed something here, not been at TS for a wee while. Your man is listed at Loyds with his voyages 1852-70, so in a few weeks´time, when things get back to normal at L.M.A., you could get the list by going there or finding someone to do it for you. It costs less than £3 for a day´s photography.

"BELL, William b.Dundee 1824 C3704 Liverpool 1852,vol.2 1852-1859,1861-1867,1869-1870; vol.16 no voyages listed."

In the case of my man, I found all of his voyages as mate or captain, their duration in months, cargoes and destinations. all neccesary for insurance purposes.

You have probably seen this already, but just to be sure!

Guid hunting,
