Family History Beginners Board / Ships crews of the Slade Company in the early 1800s
« on: Sunday 24 August 14 02:51 BST (UK) »
I have traced my ancestors to a William Brett or ( Britt) from England and his headstone says he was born in Christchurch, Hants, England in 1790 but this is where i run into the brick wall. I can find no record of his birth. In addition, i have been passed information that he came to Newfoundland as a youngster and a "cabin boy" on a trading ship. Any help would be appreciated.
