Captain Geoffrey Donnelly

Hello Muriel

Just noticed your message. I will get back to you with the dates that Jeffrey Donnelly was Captain of the "Maindy Court". I have a few of his voyages. I have also seen the name Thomas Jenkins somewhere.

Regards

Hello Muriel

I have had a look at the voyages I had for my Great Uncle Jeffrey Donnelly and the only ones I have on the Maindy Court are the two that are on Ellis Island. They are 1917 & 1924. We know that he went to Tauranga, New Zealand in 1922 on the Maindy Court from a Newspaper Report.
In 1908 he was on the Abberton and 1931 he was on the Euphorbia.
I also looked on Google for Norman Wisdom as we have not seen that show here. I found that the show you watched in Ireland was on "You Tube" so I watched it from there and saw the picture of the Maindy Court. Norman Wisdon had a hard life.

Regards
Pat

Dear  Pat and Ray

Thank you so much for that information, next job ordering one!

I wonder if your relative Captain Geoffrey Donnelly knew my Grandfather,  Thomas Jenkins, which to me  would be  exciting as he died aged 49, before my parents were even married, from a brain tumour. My Grandfather  had the ship  built and owned it with his partners Richards and Evan. As far as I can see they owned 7 ships over a period of time till WW2, so he may have  known the captains.

Do you know what dates Geoffrey Donnelly was the captain of this ship?

Thanks again

Dear Pat

Thanks for that it is great finding out about family!

I am off to my Mothers 83 birthday for a few days so will have a better look when I am back, where I hope to find something there perhaps too.

thanks again
