Hi
I just came across this'
Being on the Irish sea, many of the seamen on the ships in Cumbrian waters came from Ireland and else where, and married in Cumberland families.
| Irish Merxhant seamen active early 20C, with birthplaces, next of kin, ships, places visitted, all sorts. Tens of thousands of them! |

You can send for the original and most of them have a photo! A few examples given.
I've got Hoey's, Cullens, Donoghue's, you name it!
So if you've lost an Irishman or know he was at sea, give it a go!
Why do I always find these things late at night???!!
