Sounds wonderful... no hurry.  I understand the slow computer, I do most of my "digging" at work as my home computer is still on dial up.

Thank you again for your help.

Trish... you are correct, I butchered that info horribly and apologize for the confusion.

What I should have put was Death: after 1793.

I did not have his birth so thank you, even in your confusion you were able to provide me with info I didn't have.

Devon / Robert GREGORY
« on: Saturday 17 July 10 00:12 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on a Robert Gregory born after 1793. He was a mariner as were his sons. I believe he probably was from or moved to Brixham as his children, grand children, and great grandchildren were all born there as well.

I do not know who his parent's were.  However he married Mary Bray and had 6 children.

John Saunders (1781)
Sarah (1786)
Robert (1787-1843)
Emmanuel (1789-1815)
William (1792)
Mary Ann (1793)

I am descended of Robert (b. 1781), then John (1813), then William George (1843), then William George Arthur (1880), then Thomas George (1902). then Thomas George Jr (1929) who was my mothers father.

John was the Owner/Master of the "Lady Bassett". From 1864-1866 as Master and from 1866-1871 as Owner/Master.

At some point William George ended up in Cardiff Wales.

Any help on the parents of Robert Sr would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Devon / BOWHEY/BOWHAY family
« on: Friday 16 July 10 23:57 BST (UK)  »
I was just wondering if anyone had any information on a Bowhay/Bowhey family in Devon. 

I have it back to William Bowhay born about 1786, died Dec 26 1848 in Stoke Gabriel.

He married Mary Rich (born 1785 Stoke Gabriel, Died July 5th 1859 Totnes union Workhouse, he Father is Samuel Rich, mother is Susanna Mason)

They had 3 Children. George b 1807, William b 1810 and John (1812-1846). My roots are through John. I show John was a Mariner so figure perhaps his father was as well, but do not know.

Any help or information would be appreciated.

Findem... I am sure I can..  ;D

Silvertonhistory... Would you happen to have any info on a John Bowhey (or his family)? He was also a mariner and in my family tree. He died on March 16th 1846 when he went over board and drowned. He was on the Swift Steamer in the Bristol Channel.

I obviously do not know what all you have researched but figured it was worth a shot...

John Gregory and John Bowhey (or Bowhay) were 2nd cousins as well as father-in-laws. John Gregory's son William George married John Bowhey's daughter Sarah Ann.

Silvertonhistory... thank you very much for the reply. It appears I will have to post a few more times before we can communicate outside of this forum.  ::)

I am looking forward to speaking with you.

I realize this is an old thread. I apologize. 

I would however, be very interested to know if any information was every found. The last post mentions an article but it appears the information or link has been removed.

The reason I am so interested in further info is because I recently came across some family history showing that my Great-Great-Great Grandfather (John Gregory) was the Owner/Master of a ship called Lady Bassett between 1864 and 1871 in the Brixham area.

Prior to the Lady Bassett he also served on the "Hope" (three different times), "Dart", and the "Ann and Maria".

I realize the chance of any information is slim, but thought I would try. 

Thank you.

Jon
