NOTES: "The Lovely Nelly was a Snow class ship built in 1762 at
Chepston, South Wales for Captain John Walker and Company, and
registered at Whitehaven, England."
(Pictou ship's lists, http://www.rootsweb.com/~pictou/lnell1.htm, Nov 97)
Date on register is (Undated); took date of 1774 from
http://www.rootsweb.com/~pictou/lnell1.htm. This web version
of the list, however, seems to show at the bottom as "additional
passengers" people who are shown in the above source book as 1775
passengers, and so the book version was adhered to.
