I have an ancestor I'm trying to follow a potential lead for, but cannot access the full record (not a subscriber to the one place I can find possible has it online, and not in the right country to go in person to view the records!).

I believe that I'm looking for BT113 and/or BT114? I'm not overly familiar with the ticket system, so I may not be correct!

REID, Adam - Ticket #537701 (or it may be #537707, the script was not 100% clear). On board the Marchioness, 1852/1853, from Table Bay to Port Adelaide.
REED, Adam - Ticket #540171 (I think!), indentured apprentice on the Hilton Grove, at Shields, 1851. (I can see basic info on the register of indentured apprentice engagements, but not the ticket itself?) He wasn't from Shields, however was there at least to sign up?

Just wanting to see if the ticket itself has any additional info, so I can try and see if this is the ancestor I am thinking it may be!
