Title: MI look up or photos Flamborough
Post by: petmas on Monday 07 April 08 16:37 BST (UK)

Hi, I am putting together information on the Galway Lass that was lost of Flamborough Oct 14 1875. All 8 were from Newhaven and washed up and buried at Flamborough Church. Is there anyone who feels like a wander  through the graves and let me know the MIs or better take a photo? Names are
George , George Edward and Isaac William  Grimsey (father +2 sons-I believe this to beone grave) Wm Hart, Nelson Tasker, Alfred Penn, Edmund Earle, and Killick ?  Stevens. I can be contacted on infoATnewhavenmuseumDOTcoDOTuk  - replace AT & DOT with the usual. Thanks Pete

Hello, I realise this is a very old post, but I have a copy of a poem written about the sinking of the Galway lass if anyone is still interested. I also beaut Bridlington on occasion and would be able to photograph said graves if I can find them and info is still required.
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for your offer but I have moved out of the area and no longer involved.
