Has anyone any information on the passenger steamships that ran between Truro and Falmouth in the 19th century?  I am particularly interested in the company "Benney & Co"; they owned, amongst others, steamships called "New Resolute" "Queen of the Fal".
Benney is my paternal grandmother's name, and the steamship company was owned by relatives of hers.
I have a huge and seemingly immoveable brickwall in the early 18th century - so have decided to attack it from a sideways direction .....!!!
Thanks

I too believe i am related to richard and sarah benney who ran Benney and company. I have other elements of the tree what are your looking for?

You can also read about sarah pollock benney in the book ''A Mother in Israel': the Life of Sarah Benney'
