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

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

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!
