Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Roman catholic and nonconformist look up please - Liverpool
« on: Friday 15 December 06 22:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hi retiring type - thank you for your message and thank you for checking the Liverpool directories for me.

Yes, my Richard Landy is the one married to Sophia (I'm stuck on both of them actually!)

I'm particularly gutted that I can't find Richard - as I have his merchant navy record - I know that he was 5ft 6 1/2, had blue eyes, auburn hair, fresh complexion and a scar on upper lip.  I know it's always frustrating when we get stuck (I'm stuck on quite a few ancestors) but I feel closer to him somehow, as I've got an idea as to what he looks like - if that makes sense!!

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Roman catholic and nonconformist look up please - Liverpool
« on: Thursday 14 December 06 00:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone

My 3 x gt grandfather - Richard Landy - was a merchant seaman in London.

After finding his seaman's records - I mananged to find his date and place of birth as 8-3-1810 - Liverpool.

Lucky you - I hear you shout - however, not the case.  As I live in Essex, I paid for the records office to try and trace him (thinking uncommon name and got his birth date so should be pretty easy!) - very wrong of me!!

The only Richard Landy who was baptised is the one on the IGI in 1819 making him 9 when he was baptised.  This could well be him, but as the surname is of Irish descent - I am wondering if he was catholic or could be nonconformist.

If anyone has these records or would do a look up for me - I really would appreciate it.

Many thanks and Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone

Would any of you know please if there are and if so where there are, ships registers and seamans registers for Scotland.

My 6 x gt grandfather - John Lamb -  was a Shipmaster from Leith - (died around 1792).

I know that this is pretty early for registers - but you never know - I could get lucky!!

Many thanks

Sarah  :)
