This is wonderful data!  I am looking for any information on ships and seamen who left to fish in Newfoundland. My ancestral surname is Fortune, my ggg grandfather was Edward Fortune but I have been unable to find RC baptismal or marriage record in Newfoundland or Ireland. He was born c1790 and died in Newfoundland in1833. He married Judith Driscoll born c1791. I have not found info for Judith yet. Many thanks

Hello I am researching the Fortune family that left Wexford\Waterford to fish in Newfoundland. The one concrete link I have is a Patrick Fortune that married Mary Shaughnessy in Newfoundland on November 19, 1827 and was from Slade. He would have been born c1800 if he married 1827. I am not sure his exact relationship to my ggg grandfather Edward Fortune who was born c1790 and was married to Judith Driscoll. So far I have not found marriage or baptism info on Judith or Edward.  I just wondered if in your research you have come across any stories of family members who left for Newfoundland?  Thanks very much
