help reading census return please!
« on: Thursday 21 August 08 14:46 BST (UK) »
This is from the 1881 census RG11 / 4971 - my GGG Grandfather was the master Jacob & Eleanor (Ellena) was his wife.

I'm not sure what the name of the ship is - it's attached for inspection.

We don't know anything about the ship and I'd like to find out more. I have my idea what the name is but would like to make double sure by asking you lot!

Many thanks

Looks like what you've named the picture  ;) but I read an 'o' rather than an 'a':
Ython of Deal - odd name but that's what it looks like.  :-\

... not happy with the word starting with a "Y' - wonder if it could be a "D"?

thanks - I wasn't sure but since there was a river Ythan in Scotland I thought it might be that.

No idea where to go from here - grr. Off to the occupations board!

I favour Ythan.  Googling told me that it's an estuary in NE Scotland

No. My stupid subscription's ran out and I'm undecided as to which account to renew with.

Suppose I'd better go & find the credit card & smile sweetly at the bank manager...
