My grandfather went as a deckhand to Australia about 1892ish. he was not experienced, in fact he left home because he did not get on with his stepfather. he would have joined a ship in Liverpool and when he returned approx. 2 years later, they docked in the London Royal group of Docks. Where can I look to find when he went, the ships name etc. date of departure and return???? Kathlyn

Kathlyn, I am only online for about another 15 mins so I could do a quick lookup on the passenger lists on findmypast but would need some more info Maureen I do wish GR would sort the clock out on this site. My message was added about 12:30

Maureen, His name was JOHN ROBERTS BUT I THINK HE MAY HAVE JOINED THE SHIP USING THE NAME JOHN MAWDSLEY, or variations of the spelling. Thanks Kathlyn
