Gloria I will pass that on to Tim, you never know maybe one day, as Tim runs a society of sorts and a Blog site so he may yet turn something else up.

Any idea how I can find the Southampton Archives?
Sorry, I'm Canadian and don't know if it's in England or not.
Thank you so much for you help,
Warmest Regards,
Gloria
It seems after reading this that the Records you want will not be found at the Southampton Archives! Sorry But you can always ask!
Cheers
Central index of Merchant Seamen
Crew agreements which record the contract of employment between the seaman and the employer were also established following the Act and do continue beyond 1857. Prior to 1835 crews are recorded in the muster rolls held at The National Archives.The National Archives
Unfortunately from 1861, the surviving lists remain scattered amongst various repositories.
TNA holds a ten per cent random sample of agreements and crew lists from 1861 to 1938 and all the lists from 1939 to 1950. From 1951 to 1994, TNA only holds a ten per cent sample.National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
Maritime History Archive, Memorial University of Newfoundland
The museum holds 90 per cent of lists covering 1861, 1862, and years ending in '5' from 1865 to 1975 (except 1945).
The Archive holds the remainder of crew lists (about 70 per cent of the total) covering 1863 to 1938 and 1951 to 1976.
All other lists up to 1989 have been destroyed with the Registry of Shipping and Seamen holding all agreements and crew lists from 1990 onwards.
So may be better to look possibly at other as above

Good Luck
Not confirmed yet but, a possibility.

John should be on site in our morning, it would
be great if he can fix that for you.

Not being funny, but knew a lad from Blyth who went as a midshipman with Blue Flue in 1953, his name was Rice, how appropriate would it be if he sailed with a Curry. JWS.
Regarding John's #18, there is a Curry G P & D C in Auckland phone book and he could have migrated from Napier. Don't how to relate the DC to Liz though.
Thanks all leads will be followed up as far as possible.
We must ensure that it is the correct person.
Hopefully, John / Oz may come up trumps yet.
