Useful Links / Maritime info - ships, voyages, casualties, owners, captains, etc 18th-20th cent
« on: Thursday 11 September 25 16:36 BST (UK)  »
A link to an excellent website database for sailing ships - ships names, voyage arrivals, departures, casualties, shipping news & captains (the site holds many editions of Lloyd's list for the period 1741-1826).

https://www.maritimearchives.co.uk/lloyds-list.html

This webpage also has links to many other related historical databases.

Also a link to the definitive data source for sea-going ships for the years 1764 to 1994 - Lloyds Register of ships, shipowners & underwriters.

The Common Room / Old sailing ship's documents (1797) Bill of Lading, Manifest etc London/Montreal

I recently came across a series of old Canadian documents on the Familysearch website and think that they may be worth checking out for those with an interest in Maritime or Colonial Canadian history. They can be downloaded from the Douglas Archives website here:

I would be very grateful if someone could help and provide a transcription of what I think is the probate record for one Thomasina Drysdale/Dessdale, in Suffolk in 1557, it may be a mix of English & Latin.

Many thanks & best regards

Thankyou oldfashionedgirl for your help on this - it could be Carter 'work'- as the first entry on the preceding page mentions Kirkgate Brickwork Close & the work is similar but I think that 'Walk' may be a better option.

Many thanks & best regards
