Best of luck with your ongoing search Susan; perhaps someone on this list has had experience/ success sounding out Canadian passenger lists. Have they generally survived?

Donegal, Fermanagh, Londonderry & Tyrone 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. https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.9_01020/28?r=0&s=1 Regards, Susan On 2021-09-22 5:58 a.m., Len Swindley wrote: Hello Susan, Thanks for your kind comments.

Donegal, Fermanagh, Londonderry & Tyrone 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.

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 ….
