A Fred Henry Munt b 1869 Gravesend was my ancester but he did not enter an orphanage. His mother brought him up after his father died at sea off the coast of California (according to my aunt).  Interestingly, his birth certificate gives the father as Alfred Thomas Munt but on his wedding certificate the father is stated as Edwin Alfred Munt. Confused, yes I have been until I saw Elissa's post that his brother was Edwin Alfred, so a mistake on the certificate. Does anyone have information on the vessel and date of the shipwreck?
