Here's my Great Grandparents Harriet  & Alfred Winter with their son little Georgie.  This was taken the day before Alfred left to fight in the Boer war in South Africa circa 1900-1901.

Not an ancestor, but a self portrait of my granddaughter aged 5.  She drew it on my computer.

Cool - nice picture.  My grandfather sailed in similar ships around Cape Horn.  Must have been quite a different experience compared to taking a cruise these days.   No fake rock wall to climb on, but you did have a nice long rope ladder if you were brave stupid enough
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.
