Hi,
My apologies for taking sooooo long to reply, we too are a navy family have been organizing, his next posting and the move.
At this point it looks like we may be cousins. I have nothing concrete yet.
I have a fair bit on Capt. Ralph Shorto, RN, and only a bit about his personal life. If you would like this info, please send me an email

and I will be more than happy to share it.
Cheers from Australia,
Diane

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your efforts on my behalf. Its greatly appreciated.
Its not the first time I've hit a wall and I'm sure it won't be the last. All is not lost since you did find reference for a Michel.
Its just time to rethink and come up with a new plan of attack!
Take Care,
Diane

Hi Glen,
Thank you for your reply.
I did google Gilbert and the only hits I got  were ones
saying he is the first written record of the Michel, Michell,
Mitchell name.
Your time and effort is appreciated,
Diane

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your reply and offer of help.
It's looking like Gilbert Michel may be in the Newton or Alwinton area and possibly associated with Fitz-Rogeis' Rolhbury Lordship. I am not a 100%
on this, and only about 60% sure he is related.
All the best,
Diane

I am looking for the Curia Regis Rolls of Northumberland, 1199 - 1216 during the reign of King John. Aside from the National Archives, Kew, is there anywhere else I can search to locate information on Gilbert Michell???
I really need to just be pointed in the right direction, and please don't tell me to visit local registry offices in Northumberland as I live in Australia.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Diane

I am looking for the parents of Ralph Russell Shorto.
DOB: 23 May 1908 Place: Portsmouth
We know a little about his naval career, and the fact he was awarded
the "Distinguished Service Cross" in june of 1940, following the 2nd Battle of Narvik.
We also know he died 22 NOV 1956 and was buried in Naples, Italy while still actively serving in the Royal Navy.
We also found a 4 line obit referring to his mother as Mrs. H.R. Shorto of Recife, Brazil.
We have not been able to locate any other information.
Can anyone help me locate his parents???
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Cheers from Australia
