Find Ancestors

Hi Julia

Was wondering if you could help find my great grandfather. His name is Horatio Nelson Straker born 11/3/1883 Bridgetown Barbados and at some point in ended up in Cardiff, where he married Nora Dale in 1915.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Cara

Sorry, but he does not appear on these records.

Julia

Would it be possible for you to look on the incoming passenger lists for a Juda Shantall. He possibly came to England twice but I can find no record.

Many Thanks
Mrs A. Bayley

Hi Adele

Nothing with that name. Do you know his year of birth and possibly where he was coming from, this would help narrow down transcription errors.

Julia

Sorry Reid was the name Alexander and Mary Helen Reid Thanks for the information you have already given me Sheila

Thanks very much for the info on the Whittle family. Peter & Emily were born in Australia.

Re: Donald from Argentina to England.

You are a joy Julie. Thank you so much.

Thomas William DONALD (b. London 1855) was in Merchant navy from around 1870-5 for 18 years. I have tried the various obvious sites on archives database etc but thought if it is not too much trouble if you could tell me if the records of such people would appear on your database?

Hi Wendy

The records are for commercial ships only. If you haven't already, try putting a request on the boards for help with Merchant Navy records, someone's bound to have info and would be willing to help.
