Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 3 Send Message	As a new member - can anyone tell me how I may, easily and cheaply - find out where an ancestor was born when it simply states that he was 'Ocean born- British subject' in the 1861 census? David Fullbrook's father (also David) is listed as being a Captain Merchant Ship on his sons marriage certificate so I'm guessing that it was onboard a ship that his father was Captaining? Any help from experienced members of Genes Reunited would be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance. Sorry this was previously posted in the wrong section.
