Yes. Well done Munchies.
Be aware that Crew Agreements for years ending in "five" together with the years 1861 and 1862 are stored in NMM Greenwich.

I am trying to work out the name of the previous ship for Elias Saunde in line 5 it is dittoed with the person in line 4 it’s out of Liverpool but not sure on the name. It’s possibly the same name as line 1

I am trying to track his voyages this ship is the Aphrodite but can’t quite work out his previous ship. All my guesses so far have not matched up with a ship apart from Fame and typically there are no online records for that ship
Any suggestions gratefully received

Hello

Your chap's vessel "Do" - Ditto

The vessel above is the Janig

European for Jane, Jean, Joan Johanna and Joanne etc.

The first letter of the vessel name is formed the same as the vessel in line 1, the Janie

Mark,
I had a look again at the column entry for "Previous Ship" (www.mun.ca/mha) and I see that the letter "e" has two forms in this column.
Compare line 1, 4 and 15 - I think the relevant entries are "Same" and "Do".

Interesting concluding line...a long journey to find the truth, well done!

I have to ask whether this was your suspicion prior to checking out his seafaring journeys?

Annie

No definitely not there has never been any suspicion and I am quite disappointed that we may not have any Norwegian blood (although it does explain why my ancestry DNA test says I am 83% north west England ) He was elusive always away at sea for census or electoral roll. And my grandad remembered him being away for long periods when they had to chop up furniture for firewood then he would come home and tip gold into wife’s held out apron. I was just curious about his sea faring history and then once I started it was like picking at a scab I couldn’t stop 🙈😂
