Hi Andy,That would be fine i live in Portsmouth so it is not too far . It would probable be easier if you would like copies of anything i have.
Here is a bit more anyway, the next in my line is Henry John b 1838-1902, he was my great grandfather , as you already know amongst many ships he served on were the Warrior and the Victory, my oldest brother has the original ships papers, the majority of his life was spent at sea but still managed to have 7 children so here goes. The oldest who was my grandfather was Henry John b 1865-c1928, Michael b 1868, Mary Ann 1872, Sarah b 1874, Georgina b 1878, Esther b 1880, Stephen b 1885, all born in Portsmouth. Their mother was Mary Ann Sullivan b 1840-1906 in Scilly Ireland, my cousin has visited this place and seems to think she may have come over during the potato famine, as a baby about 1843. My grand father married Alice Phillips nee Atkins in Portsmouth on the 3/1/1894, they had 4 children, Henry b 1895/1896, John(jack) b 1897-1985, Alice b c 1900- c1906, then my father George Michael b 1903-1991.My grandfather Henry 1865 was also in the navy but was also in the army, we also have some of his papers, stillthat is another story. I have only been doing my family tree for 18 months and the last 6 months i haven't done much at all , I have had a lot of help from other people on genes re-united especially with the Flisher family , i will do that tomorrow, i hope this has been reasonable clear Andy ,i'll send more soon. Best regards Elizabeth.
