The Families in British India Society (https://www.fibis.org) has added Bombay Times arrival and departure notices for the year 1847 to the FIBIS database website.

The data consists of 3,118 arrivals and 1,740 departures, a total of 4,858 entries, and was created by a team of volunteers led by David Edge.

To access the data for this year, and the full range available so far from 1847-1851, visit https://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=1145&s_id=108.
