LeBogue did sail with Blight on both of his voyages to Tahiti. but he did not serve under Captain Cook. In his book "Fragile Paradise" (1982), the author, Glynn Christian states that LeBogue was an American coming from Annapolis.

Looking for information on Lawrence Lebogue who sailed as crew with Bligh and Cook. He was later a sailmaker on HMS BOUNTY with Bligh.

Robert, I have checked the musters of all the ships involved in Cook's three voyages of exploration, and I have not found anybody on any of the ships named Snoddy (or its derivatives). Sorry.

My ancestors lived in Stromness and were seafarers. Were there any crew with the last name Snoddy or derivatives such as Snoddie Snody?

Mikey, I have some good news for you! According to the records, Samuel Evans did not die on the voyage home, he returned to London and signed on with HMS Strombolo - a fireship. He is said to have died in Bristol in 1800. Unfortunately the records do not show where he was born, so I cannot comment on the possibility of him being related to John Evans. Biographical notes on Samuel Evans can be found on this website at the following address -

Samuel Evans recently promoted by Cook ,died on the way home after their Batavia stopover.
Have you any further information on Samuel Evans as I believe that my ancestor John Evans crew on whaleship Cyrus 1817-23 is a Nephew of Samuel.
WHaleship Cyrus went to discover the Scatchley Islands named after their Captain ,which is still being fought over today .
Any info would be appreciated.

Pauline, it is thought that several of the crew may have taken boys on board to act as their servants. As evidence for this, consider the case of Nicholas Young a boy who suddenly appears on Endeavour's muster book in April 1769, shortly after the ship had arrived at Tahiti. Where had he been before being entered in the muster book? He must already have been on board and acting as somebody's servant. He is thought to have been about 12 years old when he sailed from the UK. It was Nicholas Young who was the first person to sight land as the ship was approaching New Zealand.

Joanne, aplogies for the delay in responding to your enquiry. John Plimmer was born in England in 1812. This was several decades after Captain James Cook last visited New Zealand in 1777. Cook was a relatively common name and it is possible that Plimmer arrived in New Zealand on a merchant ship commanded by a different Captain Cook?

My 9 year old grandson came home from school today to tell me that he had been learning about Csptain Cook and his voyage to Australia in the Endeavour. Apparently the class had been talking about the make up of the ship's crew and whether or not any children would have been on board. I speculated that the only child likely to have been on board during this voyage would have been a cabin boy. Are you able to offer me any further information regarding this matter.

Hi, we are trying to trace a Maori link and a Plimmer who travelled with (paid passage??) Cook to New Zealand. We cannot trace a link from the well-known John Plimmer for definite but we need info from further back. Any help appreciated.
Best,
Joanne
