Hi Casalguidi

Thanks - Olive was my Grandmother and Gladys my Great Grandmother (Karl / Carl / Charles wife). We were unsure if he was born Sweden or Norway..
Cheers.

Hi Gagsy

Thanks again although nothing in google using those searches for me and I just get an error for the photo link - must be my ageing computer I think..

Best Regards

Hi Gagsy

Thank you very much its brilliant to see this. I have no info re. "Have you seen the other info about her coming to the rescue of an abandonned ship and the info about her losing her masts and a member of her crew in a water spout!" - I would love to know the details? Also do you know about what date the photo in Bristol was taken or who was the artist and date of the painting?

Most of the little info I have about the ship has come from help on this site - Charles ANDERSSON born 1876/1877 in Sweden serving as an Able bodied seaman on the Newport owned and registered vessel LILLIAN MORRIS official number 73131 between 8/Dec/1898 and 31/Aug/1899. We know he at least attained the rank of Bosun by 1908 but it may have been aboard a different ship...
She carried a crew of 20 at that time,  5 of whom came from Sweden - Charles Anderson was my Great Grandfather. Would your Great Great Grandather David Jones have been aboard / master at the same time?

Once again , thanks very much for the images..

Hi Gagsy

I don't suppose you could take a photo of the painting and post here by any chance or email? I would love to see it! I have been searching for ages to find any kind of photo of her..
Hope you don't mind me asking.
Many Thanks

That's interesting, thanks James.

I've not had any luck yet in finding out what happened to his body. Also been trying to find a photo of the Prison Hulk Justitia, I know it was moored at Woolwich when he died 1841 - I have found one photo of 'Prison Hulks off Woolwich' but can't make out names of the ships and don't know what date it is.

Regards

Quote from: greensleeves on Saturday 20 November 10 08:33 GMT (UK)
but I was wondering what happened to rich people who stole and robbed and cheated people out of their lands/inheritances. Presumably they wouldn't end up dying on a hulk.

Hi Greensleeves
That's a good question and one I would love an answer too as well.

Hi Macintosh
I was wondering how/if a Journeyman Stone Mason would differ from a Stone Mason?
