Convict publication
« on: Monday 02 May 22 14:51 BST (UK) »
Hi Can anyone help. I am trying to find a copy of the book titled...The precarious voyage of Her Majesty's convict  Ship Nile to the Swan River colony late 1857...by Bill Edgar.  Can anyone help me source either a printed copy or a digitalised version to download.  I am in the UK.  I have an ancestor who was on this ship. Thanks.

Have you tried searching this A-Z database? Looks like the data is taken from the book you mentioned.
Total of 271 passengers on the Sept 1857 voyage. Link: https://convictrecords.com.au/ships/nile/1857

Would this be a clue synmac? I think "istor" is something some main library's might have a licence for.

Update - looks as if there is access to e-book here: Depends how committed you are with these sites!
