I am going to the Lib tomorrow, I can check it for you.  

Thanks Genni that would be great - I really appreciate your offer to look up Anne Crow
Just to know where the ship came from and to and anything else about her.

Could I also ask if you look up:
Mary Abberton  aged 23yrs arrived  on John & Lucy but in Jan 1856 - book 12 page 163
E (Eugene) Dolph aged 25yrs arrived on What Cheer May 1857 pot F fiche 050 page 001
Appreciate if you can't do these last 2 if you have lots to do
Thanks Sue

Genni,
many many hugs and thanks for doing those look ups for me. I really appreciate your assistance
as I am just getting over some chemotherapy and the 'head fog 'associated with it.
Now to see if anything fits the puzzle
