Hi, George was my Great Great Uncle. He married Sarah in Australia in 1901. He was a Master of both sail and steam. I have his Captains chest and my sister has the locket watch that he bought Sarah on one of his trips to America. She also has  a piece of pottery that he bought at an auction in Japan. For a family that has never really moved far it was great to find a globetrotter.

A little late. Lloyd's Captains Register is now held at London Metropolitan Archives. They do have a research service. Scroll down the page.
