    Default Merchant Navy ship I look under John/Wesley

    I want to look for a crew list for my ancestor an ordinary seaman who was on this ship in March 1854 I have detailed list of the crew and passenger list of the John Wesley arriving at Auckland New Zealand arriving from Sydney (he "ran" from his original ship in 1853 on arriving in Sydney having been apprenticed )
    1 Do I look under John or Wesley when looking through the boxes for London (where ship was registered) at National Archives I know its a big task but will have a try. I have looked at crew lists before it wasn't too bad, even though I didn't find him listed on that occasion.
    2 I wonder if I am going to get any other info ie will it say when he joined and left the ship on arrival back at Sydney. He was murdered in October 1854 off Australia so am keen to gather as much info as possible from1853 to when he is on the John Wesley.
