	Does anyone know if there are any surviving passenger lists for people travelling between England and Jamaica between about 1780 and 1830? I have just discovered that my 4 x great grandfather Charles Oswin (1757-1831), who was a merchant, was a pillar of Jamaican society between about 1790 and 1825, but he is known to have been in England around 1801-3 and in 1816 (when he got married in London to Mary Catharine Smith.) And he died in 1831 in Englefield Green, Surrey. Thanks.
