Two of my ggranduncles Alexander and John Budge left Liverpool on 24 April 1852 on board the "Garland" bound for Melbourne, Australia.

The master of the ship was Captain William Halcrow. This sounds a very Shetland name, and is also my mothers maiden name.

I wonder if Fred could look up his 1851 list to see if this man appears on it and if he is in fact a Shetlander .

Many thanks
