Felix Doran (slave trader)

The captain, Brooke Richmond, bought captive people from Africa and sold them in the West Indies.

[3] Doran also owned the slave ships Hazard, Pearl, Vestal, Forde, Kildare and Molly, amongst others.

[1] Two ships, one called Judith and the other Lively, are recorded as having plantation certificates in the name Felix Doran.

The ship was captained by Ralph Abraham and picked up captives at Bassa and they were sold in Antigua.

Felix Doran Jr was responsible for 21 slave voyages, also from the Port of Liverpool.

[2] In his will Doran left £200 to his sister in Dublin, and a further £500 to her should his son Felix Jr die before the age of 21.
