Family History Beginners Board / Help please with the Ship 'Planter' of Newcastle COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 24 January 13 17:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
This Forum is now completed.
The folloing details have been found.

Regards
Schooner

Hi
Does anyone please have knowledge of the ‘Planter’ of Newcastle or point me the right direction of where I could get information on her and possibly when registered or built at Newcastle?

My 4th greater grandfather William Bennett age 26 is recorded on 22 October 1836 as a mariner belonging to the ship: ‘PLANTER’ of Newcastle. (BT 120 / 1).

I have searched on line for details of this ship and found the following, but could not find anything on the ‘TNA’ catalogue (only 4 named and neither fits) and the same problem on the ‘Clip’ website.

On the internet I could only find the following three vessels named ‘Planter’ which would fit in around 1836.  Interesting stories etc. about the convicts on board, but very little about the ships.

The 3 that I did  find :

Barque ‘Planter’ - built at Lynn in 1835 and collided with a sailing vessel named Goddess, off the Algiers in December 1847. She was damaged beyond repair. The 1848 Lloyd's register recorded her as lost. (The above convict ship ‘Planter’. In 1838 sailed from Portland to Sydney).

Schooner ‘Planter’ built at, Anstruther, Scotland in 1825. Leith to Sydney voyage.

Convict ship ‘Planter’ in 1832 sailed from Portsmouth to Sydney. (No other info found).

It also looks like there were 2 convict ships named ‘Planter’ around the same time, due to the building date of the one in 1835 and the other one which had sailed in 1832?

Any help please

Kind regards

I cannot find Frances Boyen’s death. The only one I can find is for 1912.Which cannot be him due to, Leonard and Vera being born after 1912.

He served in the Army during WW1 and survived.

Any information on his death or even his occupation would be of great help to me.

Family History Beginners Board / 1808 UK Banns of Marriage advice please
« on: Saturday 28 July 12 12:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Not tried Banns of Marriage for research before.

Is it possible to locate a Banns of Marriage for a wedding in Devon on 21 March 1808 and if so, would this give the home Parish of the Groom who was not from the same Parish as Marriage.

If they might exist, where should I start to locate it?

It is for the marriage of John Bennett (resident) and Ann Muxworthy (Northam, Devon).

Any advice please.

Kind regards

« on: Thursday 26 April 12 15:54 BST (UK)  »
Dear all researchers

Just to say a big thank you to Seaweed for his guidance into helping with my research topic, from last year, which is now complete.

Many twists and turns but resolved.

Have sent you a PM Seaweed - your advice and direction was ACE.

Without the help such as people like this, we would not have a site that is truly MAGNIFICENT.

Kind regards

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Little people on Photo in need to grow PLEASE
« on: Sunday 11 December 11 17:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
This is a some what poor photo of who could be my grand father and G Great Grandfather.

The picture is taken of the family ship in 1925.

On looking, I saw what appears to be two figures on the front of the coal ship, she was a (sailing Ketch) called 'Cicelia'.

I have no picture of my G Grandfather.

Can any one of the members produce magic and bring some sort of picture up of the two figures at the front PLEASE.

Years later after this picture was taken, my Grandfather went onto receive the DSM from the King - WW2  in the RNR.

His brother Frank, went twice to Dunkirk and rescued our troops to bring them back to England on his own coal ship 'Lily'. During his second successful rescue attempt, he lost his left leg and his sight.

Kind regards
Schooner
