Ships Passenger Lists

[ColTree]

Could someone assist, please.  I would like to obtain the passenger list for the ship Atkins, which I am led to believe, arrived in Melbourne 2 August, 1853, from Liverpool, England.
Thank you.

Col,
Would you give us the name of the person/people of interest you believe were on board. It may help to find the list.

Sue, thank you for the quick reply.  The only person I am looking for is William Collins, born c.1812, Surrey, England.
Peter.

Possibly your man:

William COLLINS, 40
Estimated Birth Year:   abt 1813
Arrived, 2 Aug 1853, into Melbourne, Australia, from Liverpool
Ship:   Atkins
Nationality: English

This is on a list which shows assisted and unassisted passengers.  I cannot find him on PROV though - they have just changed their website so it might be that I am not negotiating it properly!

Well done Judith,
I had not been able to locate a ship of the name at all and was beginning to wonder......

Are you easily able to see more than the one passenger on that ship?

I gather Peter is looking for list.

PROV unassisted list has William Collins, 40 years, arriving  Aug 1853 aboard Albinus Fiche 45 Page 002.

Thanks, Warncoort - good find.  Another mistranscription 

According to TROVE the ship is the Albinus which arrived Melbourne around 3 August from Liverpool with 229 passengers.  I don't see a ship Atkins in Melbourne at that time

Sue,  ColTree says he is only looking for the one person.

A big thank you to everyone who assisted me with my search, I'll try to see if any of it is relative to my Family History.
