Hi,

Does anyone have any knowledge of finding a child orphan who was put on a ship as a tailor.

Think its back in the 1840's
Or is there a way of tracing what happened to a child when father died when child was young (child also born out of wedlock) and mother went onto become a servant.

Thanks Amanda
