I have an Andrew Carrick born at sea in 1856 (according to Canadian census), the year the family left Scotland for Canada.
I've just come across two trees on Ancestry which have his place of birth as Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia.
Can anyone tell me if there is any reason why emigrant ships from Scotland/England to Canada in mid 1850s might have needed to go via Indonesia?
