Dear Graytom
I have just read your June 2007 message to s.k.
My wife is a descendant of the Nash family (members of her lime arrived in Melbourne in 1853).
I have been attempting to trace the family line. I have managed to reach 1619 when, it seems, that Thomas Nash settled Eltisley Cambridge but it then gets a bit confusing.
I have contacted s.k. some time ago. I will try to make contact again.
In your message you say that you have been successful in reaching 1554. Perhaps you and I could correspond and exchange information, although you seem to be much more advanced that I.
I see that you are descendant of Lt Jenkins. I understand that he was found lashed to the mast. is that right? What a horrible experience for everyone and what unimaginable devotion to duty.
When you can spare a moment to reply, I will be pleased to hear from you. In the meantime, please accept my regards.
T.R.
