Please I need a 'lift' ( helping hand ) if anyone is passing Kew.

I am looking for the crew lists for the Francis circa 1908 / 1909.

I think there may be several possible ships, and perhaps alternative spellings, e.g. Frances.

Does anyone have access to the index of ships official numbers, who could kindly give me the numbers for these ships and any other relevant details.

I could then search the data base in Canada to see where the crew lists may be located.

I can not get to Kew at the moment. I know this is the obvious place to start.

Best Regards, SloopJB. :)

Thanks Square Dancer for the interesting links.

Unfortunately mostly they seem to require the Ships Official Number.
This is what I am seeking.

I did manage a search GS Register, but found no Francis / Frances.

I will need to keep looking or wait until I get to Kew again ???

Thanks SloopJB. :)
