Ships surgeon journals
« on: Wednesday 07 May 25 08:38 BST (UK) »
Me again lol.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a ships surgeon journals please .  It's in regards to the ship eleanor who sailed from Cork to Sydney Australia in 1841.
The quarantine records and deaths on board weren't recorded so it's been suggested that the surgeon journals might be the way to find out more .
The doctor on board was Dr jenner plomley, also a photographer 🤷‍♀️
In the logs it states as follows: brief report certificate, quarantine report,AONSW reel ,1324 at spring cove till 10 September.
Reports of sickness aboard ,HRA,1,22.
I have had a brief look at the national archives but I don't find it easy to search on there for some reason. It's just me lol.
Once again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you . I should have mentioned, but it wasn't a convict ship .
It had migrants from Ireland and England bound for Australia in 1841 .

I was aware it wasn't a convict ship - completely missed the "convict" reference in the intro. Shd have stayed in bed!

Re. the ship's logs at Greenwich, it appears to indicate a log for the April 18 to August 22 1841 (Cork to Sydney) journey is not available - the master was Holderness. Pity - any death should be recorded there. But I was puzzled why it went up to 1 Aug 1841?
The Surgeon's reports for Convict journys I've checked have been online transcripts - not the original - and were not a complete transcript. They included reference to the original docs - access to which required a visit or request a look up.

A search of NSW archives' catalogue (key = surgeons reports) produced

No luck there.

The archives include the original "Persons on Bounty Ships (Agent's Immigration Lists)" which record Richard as "died on board" - but nowt else.

Best of luck with the search.
