1871 Merchant Ships - Scottish Shipping
« on: Monday 04 March 19 10:56 GMT (UK) »
Freecen has details of an entry at Falkirk, Stirlingshire at ED 08, Sched 19, Page 10 of a ship "Elizabeth" with a Donald Lamont age 30 Master and one other crew member.
Nearby is another ship of same name with a crew of three (Sched 26, Page 10).
Is anyone able to tell me if the original entries include further details to identify the  Official Number or Registered Port or Tonnage of the ship above at Schedule 19 please.

Attached are two images showing the people mentioned.  I cannot see anything that gives you information on the ship itself.  You may have to find the enumerator's schedule for that.

Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China
Strong: Wiltshire
Watson: Cambridgeshire
White: Bristol
Windo - Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire

The 'Elizabeth' with three crew has two boatmen and a horse driver.
This is probably a canal/river boat.

Girl Guide and tonepad:
Many thanks for your replies - including a copy of the entries I mentioned.
Falkirk is "inland" on the canal but is also very close to the Forth estuary - I had assumed both were using the canal.
I had a recollection that when vessels were being listed at ports the entry included specific details of each ship. These would be major vessels on the Clyde and UK ports but I now wonder if lesser canal sized vessels were merely identified as in these 1871 entries ?
As GG mentions I may need to look out the enumerator's schedule.
Many thanks for your help and advice.
