I had loan of a few books from an Ontario library and went thru them. I did find quite a few good stories, and I enjoyed the books immensely. I did a purge yesterday and lost the name of the family you are looking for. I took some notes but of course focused on the Walker family. I will go thru my notes and see if I have anything on yours. Also someone sent me the Lloyd's of London site where I was able to find some info on some of the ships. Another kind lady had a CD with names of sailors on it from 1851 and she sent all the Walkers.... Sometimes I wish I lived someplace else because some folks seem to have such an easy time finding info and I seem to search forever and come up empty. I chuckle to myself and say "Well, Goldie, by now they are dead for sure".....not much other course to take.
