I can't thank you enough Rose.

Just come back on here after frantically searching Ancestry and the IGI.....printer is red hot now!!

It is no wonder I have never been able to find them. Annie/Elizabeth/Bessie seems to have "put it about" a bit. lol

Complete new line of research. My Dad would have been mortified, he was very proud of his nautical roots.

So annoyed, I have got to get ready for work now. Everything will have to wait until this evening.
