My great-grandmother went out to India to work and find a husband (with success) but I have never been able to find her on a shipping list either outwards or returning. |

I doubt the "fishing fleet" was an organised scheme like the girls and women sent to Canada by the French in the 17th century, or the girls sent to Australia by Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. |

thanks to everyone who replied As far as I can find out yes the older children seemed to be given the surname Jones at birth as on Charles Naturalisation record he says married no children this was 1903. I think he was already married when he met Hilda I can find a marriage around 1880 to a Hanna McDonald (widow) will have to find out happened to her |

Welcome to the boards Max. Linda posted a while ago now and is probably not looking for replies any longer. |
