Hi River Tyne Lass. Thank you so much for looking into this for me. I hope you and your family are OK.
My James Harvey is down on all the Census records I have as either a boat builder, carpenter or shipwright. I'm thinking "small cog in a big machine" but I have a photo of portrait of him that someone has painted. It's not a very accomplished painting but theres a note somewhere saying the papers he is holding in his hand are something to do with a ship he built. Its all very mysterious. His Father was also a James so looking into that possibility. His father was born in Scotland-family all Scots on his side. The plot thickens!! Will have a look at the link you sent. Thanks once again xx

I hope that you won't mind me holding you and your family in my prayers at this time. You've had a lot of loss. Your wee Jessie sounded like a lovely little girl. Dogs are such a precious part of the family. Mindy is a rescue. She's our second greyhound. It's very kind of you to help me out at some point. Hobbies are so great for well-being. You sound like a very kind lady. No need to reply to this message. I'm sure we will chat in due course. Take care and God bless. Xx

Hi River Tyne Lass,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please don't think at all about doing a search for me. It's so important to take very good care of yourself at times like this. (I'm a chaplain so I support a lot of people through bereavement.)
Our beautiful and very silly greyhound is called Mindy. She's 10 going on 2. Best girl ever. 🐾
Take care,
Ellalaine x 🙏🕊

Hi River Tyne Lass,
I've stumbled across your really useful post about biographies of people in Northumberland and Durham and would like to thank you for posting.
I am researching boat builders and master mariners from my family. I wonder in your travels have you come across the Harvey and Stoddart families?
My 3 and 4x GGFs both called James Harvey born 1805 Lanarkshire, Scotland and his son 1827 Sunderland both built ships I think on the Tyne but I cannot find any other ship info regarding their careers.
My 4x GGF was Ralph Stoddart was a Master Mariner born 1797 Norton, Durham but again struggling to find ship info. I'm in Stoke-on-Trent.
Any info you have or any other pointers would be great,
Kindest regards,
Ellalaine (born down south but delighted to find I have Northern roots after all!!!)

Any information really. Particularly Lewis or Louis Betell 1666 and further back. Possibly the family that married into the Gypsy Smith family via Catherine/Kitty Beetles. Many thanks

Hi there,
Just stumbled across this post whilst looking for the Nash family from wiltshire. Not sure if by now you have found out but Vashti and Christiana are names associated with Romany Gypsy families in and around the West Country. I have both names in my tree several times over. If you haven't already, make contact with the Romany and Traveller Family History Society. They have a magasine Romany Routes which may lead you to more family members
Best wishes
