It's just possible that the person who made the correction is related to you, but don't be disappointed if he/she turns out not to be. I look at a lot of entries for people to whom I am not related on Ancestry as part of my research and have made lots of corrections, but largely because I am hoping that my doing that will help the relatives of that person if they are looking for him/her in the future. It's possible that this applies to the corrector in your instance.

I saw the V Brincat/Salonika reference on the WW1 Service Medals and Award Rolls on Ancestry.

It may not have been the right gentleman, though.

Just to say that it might help you with boats/ships to find a library with historical Lloyd's Lists and Lloyd's Registers. The Guildhall Library in London is one. They have an extensive Lloyd's section. When I was researching a trawler, I read the Lists for the period and could see it arriving and leaving ports on its journey. I also looked at its dimensions and registration details etc in the Register.

If you can be fairly precise about which ship you need to know about, they may be able to help by phone.

I was just looking at other photos of factory fire brigades and thought how similar the building in this photo looked.

I am wondering whether that 'i' is an 'l' and the port is Gorleston in Norfolk.
