Now rec'd the details of the voyages from the City Of London, so now have the names of his ships, but no voyages recorded 1890 onwards just aremark Died 11th Feb 1897.
So will now search for the crew lists

Thanks for that. Good luck, I'll be interested to hear what you find.

Now have Hugh Duncan's records as a boy in Royal Navy 1849 to Mate, Second mate,  First mate , Master Mariner  in 1877, the Masters Certificate and other seafaring records all show his DOB as 4th April 1835 in Liverpool Lancashire.

Still niggles I can't locate the link back to Dunoon Scotland nor a father also Hugh Duncan -  a Baker  - in Liverpool.
Also anyone able to suggest the names for ship No 1

Could it be 'Meander', ignoring the squiggle at the beginning?

If you Google ship meander, there's an old picture of it for sale on ebay and also amazon. It MAY be the same ship.

Thanks for all your replies, the only doubt I have with Meander its shown on his records for 1849 -1851 as a Royal Navy ship ie HMS Meander, the listing on Clip is for 1860 too late for Meander no 3907 - but it maybe the correct vessel.
I'll take alook at the web for the ship.

Now found the Scottish link via the Grave in Toxteth Cemetery .
Greenock New or Middle in Renfrewshire, how do i transfer my enquiry history over to the Scotland Renfrewshire roots chat ?

This is amazing! After so long. My mother was always so certain of the Scottish connection. Could you tell me more? I have had family. Problems and fun from all over the world, so have been too busy to follow up until now.
