Looking for any info on Thomas Goodsir Master Mariner of Scarborough

[John1935]

Hic!!
Thats a good mix - Master Mariner and Publican - When Lavinia and William, went north to Sunderland they started running 'The Bath Hotel' information gathered by the efficient girls in the Sunderland History studies in the old Binns Department store, which I knew well in the old days( as one is now forced to say!!!!) Tammy would be having fun she had already brought up four of her own!

Got dragged screaming off my computer yesterday - because the sun had come out and garden needs attention!!!!
Well what with Lavinia and Tammy both being in Sunderland and the lads being on coal ships, I can start to see why I was drawn to the North- East Colliers repeat of History or "Staiths revisited" ( if only UNESCO had got there first before they were pulled down).
Can't remember the names of pubs viisited, but well remember coming out of Blyth, the Tyne and Wear on 'Cliff Quay', 'Pompey Light' and 'Sylvia Beale'. 
Home of the 'Flaties' - "The hole in the wall" Seaham Harbour on the 'Fireglow' and 'Murdoch' and of course Tom Puddings at Goole with Sylvia Beale ??  In those days the little 'Sir David' and 'Lady Olga' were still in Seaham.

Have contacted the Yarmouth Newspaper and the helpful Lady there, is going to get her Archivist to see what they can find on'Transfer' What she did also say which could be of GENERAL INTEREST Is that the Yarmouth Church has an ongoing project to list all graves of drowned seamen buried there, and it seems - there are a lot!
Sorry moderator been naughty again by shouting General interest, but thought it is an important research tool.

Thanks for very interesting Photos, doesn't appear a lot of room to swing a cat as the saying goes!

Shaun going back to all his kids - why I wonder was the last one called Thomasin Harrison Goodsir - seems strange on two counts, first why Harrison, unless maybe Mary Ann's maiden name was Harrison and she died in child birth( sort of memorial ) Why  Secondly Thomasin did he already know Tammy I wonder, or was it just a common name at the time.

why I wonder was the last one called Thomasin

I think you may be right in surmising that he already knew Tammy. On the other hand he was a Thomas and it could just be that he named her after himself.

The marriage date was 17th March 1822 per Familysearch. Per the Pallots card Thomas was from Scarborough but was at that time residing at Exmouth.
