Thank you, Len
Your ongoing work is hugely appreciated.
I had continued to search myself and found this record. The passenger
numbers for the Nelson Village are a little higher than the source you gave.
I also read through the booklet and found that these passengers were not
assisted immigrants.
I believe that a large group from County Tyrone traveled on this ship
and ended up in Simcoe County Ontario.
No proof so far, but I did find a death at sea of a 2 year old which
could be of my family.

Hello Susan,
Thanks for your kind comments.
I venture to say that the passenger list of the Nelson Village has not
been transcribed; certainly not on the Ships List website

Ship Arrivals Quebec, Canada June 1847 part 2

Mr. Wm. Henry, of this city, furnished the Exchange, yesterday, with
the following extracts of letters received by the Eastern
Mail:--"Chatham, 3 rd June, 1847 "Captain Thain, of the ship Loostauk,
636 tons, from Liverpool to Quebec, out 7 weeks, had, when she left
Liverpool, 349 passengers, out of which 117 have died, and of the
ship's crew only five are able to work.

Arr. Quebec June 27 1847; Master: McBernie, 264 passengers; consigned
to W. Henry. Is there a record repository in Canada dedicated to
maritime immigration - perhaps they could assist?
Regards,
Len

Dear Len, Jim and Dave
I too appreciate all the work done to make records available to the
diaspora.
I carefully read every new addition looking for my Black and other
surnames from the barony of Dungannon, County Tyrone. Alas, I haven't
yet found the records for a Black family with a possible father of
Robert or James (using Scots-Irish naming custom) whose children were
born from 1802 - 1822. Some children must have remained in Co. Tyrone
because only 4, with their families, travelled to Canada.
Has anyone ever transcribed the list of passengers for the Nelson
Village which left Belfast May 19, 1847 and arrived at Quebec June 26,
1847?
I now have two possible clues that they may have come on that ship.
What company owned that particular ship?
Your work is a blessing to many. Thank you.

Dear Listers – and especially Len and Jim
Thank you so much for posting these family notes.
What Len does too, is not just to transcribe the marriage entry – he
also does this in a way that _records also the officiating clergyman_.
In 1848, Thomas Black and Hanna Gilmore were married in Belfast, in
the Linenhall Street Church (Reformed Presbyterian), by the Rev.
Robert Knox ….
* I could find, from _www.irishgenealogy.ie
<http://www.irishgenealogy.ie>_ the actual marriage register
entry – in Rev. Robert Knox’s own handwriting
* This on a page of several marriages, all by him, and where he
certified the whole page too – so lots of examples of his signature
* By looking at the .pdf pages before and after /(just change the
last digit in the page number),/ I could get examples from
several pages
Rev. Robert Knox was a County Tyrone man, the 3rd son of Hugh Knox at
Urney and grandson of Gustavus Knox of Little Drumenny, both in co.
Tyrone.
He was also a great-uncle to my own grandfather.
So, thanks, Len – /you’ve done it again!/ You’ve given me a
bookful of his own original handwriting, from over 170 years ago ….
Your kindness and thoroughness makes for marvellous help and exciting
discoveries for others.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again! All 100 000 of them thank
you’s ….
