Yesterday i made a visit to Hoylake Lifeboat House to try and findout more about the disaster at Hoylake in the December of 1810. On several occasions the gentleman i was hoping to meet was not available. However, yesterday the person in question was there and informed me that my 5th times great grandfather was a brother to his ancestor. I was given a bundle of papers (25+) which gave me details of bmd's of all those involved.
