Ship Burrell

Folio 528

Draft letter from William Golden Lumley, Assistant Secretary to the Poor Law Commission to Henry Edwards Paine, Clerk to the Guardians of the Rye Poor Law Union. He informs him that they have received, through Messrs Carter and Bonus, a certificate from the Chief Emigration Agent in Quebec, stating that the agreement they entered into, to convey five poor people from Icklesham to Canada in the ship Burrell, has been fulfilled.

Folio 263

Draft letter from Poor Law Commission, to Carter and Bonus, Leadenhall Street, referring to their letter of 15 June enclosing a certificate from Mr Buchanan. They point out that the emigration from the parish of Great Linford referred to in that certificate comprised of 12 adults and 12 children but the numbers registered to sail on the Burrell in the Commission's office are 12 adults and two children. They ask for an explanation for this. Paper Number: 9837/B/1844.

Folio 251

Letter from Carter and Bonus, Leadenhall Street, to the Poor Law Commission, acknowledging his letter of 26 June, 9837/B/1844, which stated that the number of emigrants on the Burrell from the parish of Great Linford in the Newport Pagnell Poor Law Union to Canada were 12 adults and 2 children. However Mr Buchanan's certificate had 12 adults and 12 children. They state the difference is due to a mistake in registering the contract and it should be 12 adults and 12 children.
