I have  a vernier sextant (quintant actually) that is inscribed with the name M. E. B. P Storrie RN dated November 1915. Is he one of yours? Please reply direct to (*) (replace the <at> with an @ of course. I did trace him out a bit many years ago but when he disappeared off the Navy List I didn't pursue him any further. Regards.

Hello Ian,

Welcome. Do you know about John Tawell, who was executed for murder in !845?

There is masses of information on line about him which you can find online by using a search site such as Google or Yahoo.

If you think he might be related, contact me by PM when you have made the necessary number of posts - I have notes which might be helpful, from a thread I posted on another forum a couple of years ago and could perhaps point you to some references.

If you are interested in John Tawell, I have written a book about him.
