(while this registry, possibly re-registry, only starts in 1826 Lloyd's underwriters has A. Forbes as owner from 1819 until 1826 when it becomes F. McLean & Co. It is likely that this simply represented a change of agent to Francis McLean rather than reflecting majority ownership by him, particularly as it had reverted to A. Forbes by 1833)
