Ship owners - Sunderland & South Shields

[Westoe]

What? - no comment yet on Amy Flagg? Hmm - so possibly no interest either in a ship jointly (50-50) owned by Thomas Metcalfe and Henry Lee (for year + 1/2 only)?

[Westoe]

Or the one with a lurid ("Two Years Before the Mast"-type) past that M & L bought jointly (also 50-50) in 1863 from John Snowdon, in-law to Henry Lee's brother-in-law, (I've previously noted that these people were a clannish lot), and sold on two years later?

According to their monumental inscription in Westoe Cemetery, Ann (Thompson) LEE died 26 March 1878.

I'm not yet convinced that she is actually buried there (as opposed to being commemorated there) because I have not yet found her death registration or her burial entry. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Westoe

Caroline left in 1874 with Harry and second son Ernest and then also had a trip back to the UK and returned again to the US in 1880

On that 1874 trip, did Caroline, Harry and Ernest return to the US on the steamer Republic, arriving New York from Liverpool 31 May 1874, dis-embarking 1 June? If so, they are named in New York Daily Tribune 1 June 1874 under "Passengers Arrived".

Cheers,

Hmmmm. Am I "Johnnie-come-lately" to all my information. Did you already have it all? Is that why there is no response to my posts?

I really did think that after reading "Notes on the History of Ship-Building in South Shields", there would be some comment along the lines of "Yes, I noticed the references to Lockwood Broderick and James Craistor, but I don't see any signifcance of those to this family. Can you explain?" And then it would have been my pleasure to do so. But no - no interest, (though, judging by the numbers, a lot of people are reading the posts), so I begin to think that I am talking to myself on this thread and it's time to give it up.

Cheers,

I know this subject was posted a long time ago but I reached it via a link on a site when I was looking into some of my HAVELOCK ancestors.

The reason for my posting now is regarding the very detailed post about the HAVELOCK line, as there has been an alteration to some of the information given, following the discovery of new documentation regarding the marriage of Thomas HAVELOCK, son of William and Ann nee LONGBOTTOM.

Thomas married Sophia EGERTON, not Sophia Louisa MARTIN, as was previously thought. The marriage took place on 1st September 1796, at St. Mary's Church, Chepstow, Monmouthsire, Wales. This record has been verified and added to the information held by Roger HAVELOCK of The Guild of One Name Studies.

Thomas is my direct ancestor, through his daughter, Ann, who married Henry WOOLGAR.  I have lots more on the line if anyone is interested.

I hope this is helpful to anyone researching the HAVELOCK line.

My father's grandfather was Thomas Havelock Block b1874 Sunderland His mother was Mary Isabel Block (or Bloc)nee Havlock (Tho' I suspect that's how her Prussian husband registered her surname )  married Sunderland 1859. I have yet to receive their marriage certificate so that is all I know, tho Thomas Block was quotedas being a relative of General Havelock. Any ideas?
