Greetings Richard,
I well remember our trip together on Chitral, particularly the Old Time Music Hall.
Spen5t most of my time with P&O Ports proposing investment in and managing Container Terminals around the world. Great web site.

Regards, Monty

Good web site thank you...

Was looking for pictures of the Lossiebank. Travelled on her as a passenger from Rotterdam to Port Moresby in 1967 and went to work for Burns Philp in the Rabaul shipping department (agent for The Bankline). Cannot remember that far back however good chance I picked you up from the ship on 15/9/1971 to take you to the airport! Have you got anymore pictures of the Lossiebank?

Thank you

Found your site by accident after looking up gravestones on [www.gravestonephotos.com] for my grandmothers family. My father has just died and my cousin had researched quite a lot of the family and passed copies of pictures from that site to his 93 year old cousin who still lives in Cromer, Norfolk, the birthplace of many of my family forebears.

Interested in any Peterhead connection. My mother's mother's family were the Mitchells of Berryhill, merchants, also with shares in a whaler, the polar Star, also teaplanters in Ceylon.

I was reading the article about The Perseverance, lost in the Arctic 1901. My great uncle James Irving Scott was one of the men on that ship. I have a copy of one of his letters sent to his sister in London via another ship that had left the Arctic earlier.
I am using a relations website, as do not have a computer. Please would it be possible to send a contact address to this email address, as I would be very interested in finding out more information since 1901. With grateful thanks.

thankyou for the recordings of Williams singing

Hi Richard - I believe that Hugh Kelly who died on 23/11/1914 was my Mother's uncle ie brother of her father (William John Kelly). From the 1901 census he was aged 17 so he may have been born circa 1884. I have other possible siblings - Sarah born 1877 Joseph born 1886 Thomas born ? If any of this is relavant pse let know at my e mail address. The townland of Ballymave is prominent in all of the above.

THe Roll of Honour at the church would appear to list the Dr, your grandfather

Richard,
So nice to find a name from the past, we sailed together on the Wimpey vessels cant remember which?

I am still with the remnants of the company here in Aberdeen, being Gulf Offshore N.S. Ltd now a "small" supply boat company.

Would be nice to get in touch again.

Take Care

I can't work out how to use this website to search for my ancestors - who I know are buried in Scartho Road cemetary, but don't know where. I thought this site would tell me that.

I was researching Trident Tankers when I came across your site. I sailed with a Richard Collinson as a spotty, ignorant first-tripper cadet on Ellora in 1967/68 when Richard was 3rd Mate. I remember also the names Rob Domin (also 3rd mate) Peter Crabb (2nd mate) Dave Humberstone (Chief Officer) and (strangely enough) Captain Blood - I kid you not....

I found your site very informative and interesting. I will tell my family and friends about this site. Thank-you for all your hard work. VERY WELL DONE.

Hi i'm searching for the following names Stowell,Brownlow,Platts.
Stowells from Warkwickshire and India and the Brownlows from Notts and Leics and Platts from Leics anyone with any info on any of these familys i'd be pleased to chat with

Hi Richard I must of sailed with you on the Perim from July 1965 Finishing in Liverpool in December. I was a first trip junior down below. Captain Haggis, and John Galvin 2nd Engineer who I will never forget!!!!.

For some time I have been trying to trace, Thomas Mayes,the father of my grandmother Louisa Mayes (Sept 1893 Fulham 1a 300)and her siblings Maud,(1886 Brentford 3a 109)Edith,(Dec 1889 Fulham 1a 214)and Edward(Jun 1890 Fulham 1a 225). Their mother,Dinah Louisa Rebecca Drake,(Dec 1857 Staines 3a 9),was, in 1881 with her husband in Fulham.He died in 1899 and I can find no record of Dinah marrying again untill 1903 when she used the name of her first husband.In 1891 Dinah is in Fulham(RG12 48 85 44)with the children and "MAY, Horace T".I believe this to be Thomas Horace Browne Mayes,(Jun 1851
Depwade 13 39). I have found him in 1861 and 1871 with his grandparents, Thomas and Charlotte, in Norfolk but unable to find him in 1881.
Do you think I have the right person ? Have you any idea what he may have been doing between 1871 and 1886 ? I find it quite intrigueing !
You have obviously done a lot of research to compile your tree, it's extensive ! Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Lucille Robinson.
(Hoping you get it this time !)

Please email me if you would like to have a copy of the Fleets list 1964 .We sailed together in Perim.

Hi! We sailed together on the Perim I was Third Officer. Captain was Haggas, Chief officer Ellingham (Ex Orient Line) 2nd Officer Lyon and 4th Officer Woodhead.
The other cadets were Syrett, Woodger and Blencowe.
I can't remember if you were Warsash but would be delighted to hear from you. Were you on the Surat when she grounded? I sailed 3 years with Freddy Irons and it was bound to happen sooner or later. Drop me a line. I have the 1964 Fleet List also if you want a copy.

My mum's uncle was William Marriott Collinson,so found your website via ancestry.co.uk. I did not know him well, but my mum thought a great deal of my Great Aunt Edna,I will be uploading some photos soon.
