Hi all
I think it's possible I might be getting somewhere, this morning I read the lostcousins newsletter which said that new maritime BMD records had been added to findmypast and sure enough, (after years of searching), I have now found a likely death for my gg grandfather.
His ship went missing in 1869, I still have investigating to do to establish if it definately is him - it's great to have some leads to go on after 7 years of looking.
Thank you for your interest and offers of help
Jean
