Find Ancestors

Sorry If I read it properly it told me the date.

I think I should give this up as a bad job before I get myself into any more trouble

Jane

Thanks very much for that MarieCelest for that information. Is that part of his Merchant service record?

When does it refer to. Sorry I must seem really stupid. I dont know very much about the Merchant Navy service.

Thank you for helping me

Jane

Thanks MarieCeleste and Gin. You are absolutely right. Except in this case the information on there is not necessarily correct. When I looked into it I found I had married Thomas of to a Mary not Harriet. Therefore I thought rather than confuse myself and everyone who is very kindly trying to help me I would start again.

Sorry for any trouble I have caused.

Jane

Thanks Alviega

He married Harriet Walker. In Rawcliffe.

All the best

Jane
