New Zealand / Re: Whaling and whalers in New Zealand waters
« on: Sunday 02 February 25 03:27 GMT (UK)  »
I believe Heberley, James, 1809-1899 was  a whaler in the Marlborough Sounds, it is mentioned in a couple of books that a family member wrote (autobiography ... "H") about their life on a remote bay in the sounds, rescues at sea, etc

Just be aware not every passenger list recorded ages/names  Some have just surnames and initials.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

The boys when it was time to leave, St Joseph's,usually went to Rosmini College (Catholic) to finish their schooling.   I am not saying that is where the two Uncles went, but my knowledge of being an old  North Shorian.

They're indexed at https://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp and the original records can be viewed on microfilm at Elgin Library. Not sure if there is also a microfilm copy in Keith Library.

Thank you.  Can update my records now.

Hi KHP. We haven't seen each other for quite a while... ;D

We haven't.  I was out of action for quite a while, hobnobbing it with hospital staff

I am actually surprised at the clothing provided. Quite generous really.


You do get interesting ones Minnie :D ..  Can you adopt me? ;D ;D :D  About the clothing, makes you wonder how many items were cut down from adult clothing,  to fit the child, thinking from the financial side.

Them upstairs have decided there is nothing for me to look at this time, but good luck to those that have little nuggets of information to go on with.
