Hello Amanda , noticed your request for help in tracing descendants of GEALE , as its some years i suppose from the planned reunion so its  not much help in suggesting the electoral office ?
     However this is off the track a bit , im searching for any info on my wifes ggrandfather Robert WALKER born dec 2nd 1830 greenock renfrewshire , found a Robert WALKER as being apprenticed to Edward GEALE in 1845 on ship Isabella , later transfered to ship called Superior Do you have any knowledge of these ships movements ?  Also on the family trees on Ancestry that include Edward no one seems to have a death year or place ?
    Kind regards

Hi Brian,

We know that Edward and his wife Janet (nee Warnock) settled in Singapore. Their son was John Edward Geale, whose wedding anniversary we celebrated 7 years ago. Our last records of Edward show him as the Captain of the Whampoa. Janet is buried in Singapore, not sure about Edward's death at this point in time.

Thank you for your suggestion, however since the reunion was 7 years ago we are not actively searching for relatives. We did however have a fantastic response to all our notices posted in the various places and had a massive turn out. We had relatives from all branches. It was an extremely successful weekend.

Dawn,

I will reply to your message now.


Thanks,
Amanda

Brian,

Another thought, Edward, his brother Caleb and their father John all worked for the East India Company. Not sure if that helps... Edward's wife was also from Greenock, Renfrewshire.
