Renfrewshire / Re: Greenock stowaways 1868 - abandoned barefoot on the ice fields of Newfoundland

Hi all, it's been ages since I was here last! There have been several news pieces on the story lately, which has been fantastic. In addition to what can be gleaned from the Greenock Telegraph, there is the book The Brats by Tony Paul, the new comic version plus I think there was a book on seafaring tales. The original papers would be a good place to start researching...

Nancy has a Facebook page for the Arran Stowaway descendents which would be well worth joining if you use facebook.

Hi Nancy, just got your message and added you to FB (I think)... It looked about right at least. John (stowaway) had a son, Robert, who had several children (mum can recount names better than me). One of those children was Lilian (Lily to friends and family). Lily was my nan, she had 2 children, my mum and my uncle.

Nancy, if you are still here on the site, John Paul is my great great grandfather.
