I'm on holiday for a while, sorry I haven't got round to all replies (including those awaiting emails) - will endeavour to do them when I get back! Sheila x

Hi Sheila, My ggg Grandfather became captain of a passenger ship in 1868, but I'm not sure what kind of ships he sailed on before doing this. Could you possibly check for a Robert Francis Hodgson, born 1830 in Crossgate (Durham City). He sailed out of Gravesend, Kent in later life, so may be around there also. Much appreciated, Mads xxxxxx

Lyla - No Matthew Flewers, several Flowers, but no Matthew unfortunately. Grace - there are several 'Darlings' - do you have a christian name? Sheila

I've had partial success with another thread on this subject but maybe you have a different cd?The names I'm after are William Palfreyman born 1863 and his brother John Edward Palfreyman(Palfryman)born 1865 both in Birkenhead.I have them both on board ship in 1881.Thanks.

Hello Sheila, many thanks for your offer. Long shot this one. Looking for Thomas Richards born Ireland about 1840/1942. Although born in Ireland was living in the north east (when at home) in the 1860s. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards - Linda

Mads - no luck with Hodgson I'm afraid. Ian - no luck either! (I have Kirkland ancestors, have got back to Notts with them so far). Sheila

Many thanks for looking Sheila Mads xxxxx

Shanette - I've got a John Palfreyman (b.1839, Sheffield) and an Elizah(?) Palfryman (b.c.1830, Birkenhead) - not the right dates but I guess they may be connected? Let me know if you'd like the details. Sheila

Linda - no luck I'm afraid! Steve - no Percy Moons, sorry Sheila

Hello Sheila, could you check for any RAFTER mariners born in Liverpool or Ireland, thanks Helen

hi sheila. i am looking for a thomas burbridge born ireland c1840's. thanks

The Elijah's mine but not the John. I laready know that he sailed on SS.Plover and Louise but if you found anything else that will be great. thanks,

Do you have any details on Goldsworthys or Wakehams, born in Devon, please? They were both seafaring families with several fathers and sons going to sea.

Sandra - the CD only lists Merchant, not Royal Navy. Sue G - lots of Pierce's, but would need more info! Helen in Kent - none of the correct age I'm afraid. Jill - will email when I can with Warrey info, no Goughs. Grace - will email when I can with Darlings. Kate - no George Sanger unfortunately! Helen - no Rafters either! Edith - some Burbridges but none from Ireland or for correct age. Marilyn - no Booth from Bermuda I'm afraid. Pat GR - no Foster for correct time. I can view listings by vessel and 'Crimea' is there but lists only go to 1899!
