hi all,    i  must say just found this site and im hooked,

 im looking for any information  on my family from pill in newport,
on the 1881 census there living at 33 ruperra st  newport
(1) william anstice (w) born in  1809 at St George's, Gloucester
he was a dockmaster,we been trying to find out what docks it was,
 we think he was in one of cliff knight books having a boat built for him.
(2) the name of his late wife if possible.
(3) his daughter was sarah ann borlase (w)  born in 1833 at St George's, Gloucester
we think she was married to a sea captain william borlase ,  we dont no his age or where he was born  could be newport / st george gloucester or Cornwall?
we think he was taking ill at sea and past away at newport.
    many thanks  atb ian. h
