i've just sent you an email with the photo's - enjoy.

thanks for you suggeston.

as you will see from the census the captin in 1861 was stanton but from the reports and the lloyds reports we found around the time of it's capture in the USA in 1862 the captin was elliot. we did try and working through the lloyds reports to see if we could join the two events together but our eyes were rolling and the car parking charges were ramping up. if we have time and if we go back to the NMM we will see if we can join the two things up.

thanks for this.

now that's interesting about what the NMM says because during our visit yesterday to the NMM and going through the lloyds shipping news it says the patras docked at london from gothenburg on the 09/04/1861 and sailed back to gothenburg on the 18/04/1861. I can send over the pictures we took of this if you PM me your email.

I've also emailed the NMM about the patras, so let see what their answer is to me ;-) let see if it matches yours ;-)

fyi - the Patras disappears from the lloyds register in 1866. So i'm wondering if it sunk in 1865, which is when the person I'll investigating is registered as decreased on his child's birth cert.

oh the joys are family history.

aldoushughes - did you find out much at the patras. you see i'm also researching this ship as my partner's ancestor was on that boat to according to the 1861 census too.

i'm going to the national martime musem tomorrow to see what i can find about this ship. i'll let you know what i find if you are interested?

jorose - could you search the gro marine death index for me too. i'm trying to find details of a william cullen who died during 1865. I know the because of a child's birth cert. he is listed as deceased on the cert and the birth was registered early jan 1866. many thanks
