Gloucestershire / Looking for Fortune family
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 21:50 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for descendants of the Fortune family that lived in Bisley or Bristol before 1860 when Joseph (b. 1810) and Mary (nee Striblehill) and at least two of their children (Mark and Paul) immigrated to St. Louis, MO. I believe that some of the Fortune family remained in Bisley or the surrounding area, and I would love to know if anybody knows anything about them or if there are any living descendants still around.

Lancashire Lookup Offers / Re: Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

Dave, thank you for helping to confirm that! I suspected it may have been the George Holt based on William's age in the photo, but I couldn't be sure. As you had mentioned before, the George Holt was the last of the schooners, so I wonder if this photo was taken as a momento on one of the final voyages? It's unfortunate that there is no date to be found on the picture anywhere.

Here is a photo of William Evans sitting on the fantail of what is supposedly his pilot boat (maybe the George Holt?). I don't know if anybody is familiar with the designs of the pilot boats and can verify that this was indeed taken aboard one of the them or if this was a different vessal... There is a large steamer in the background so I assume this was taken in Liverpool harbor, again lending some validity that this was taken aboard a pilot boat.

Does anybody know if there is a history of early 20th century ship pilots in Southampton?

Dave, thank you very much for the information! However, I am a little fuzzy on some of the dates. Do you have a listing for a William Evans born 1824?

Armed Forces / St. Louis County Missouri Militia
« on: Friday 11 September 09 21:21 BST (UK)  »
Does anybody have any information on the St. Louis County division of the Missouri Militia? I have a copy of my gg grandfather's enlistment papers from 1862 showing enlistment in Company B22 of the St. Louis County Missouri Militia, but that is all I have.

Thanks!

Occupation Interests / UK Lifeguards (RNLI) info?
« on: Friday 11 September 09 21:10 BST (UK)  »
Does anybody know if records are kept for members of the RNLI going back to the 1800's? I haven't been able to get a response from the RNLI, so I was wondering if anybody has been down this road before. Specifically I am looking for information on New Brighton station members.

Thanks!
-Ryan
