Hi Everyone I'm searching for the sailing vessel that brought my GG Grandmother to Canada from England, about 1842/45. She and her parents, James and Elizabeth (Eliza), left the London, England area between 1842 and 1845, when Ellen was about eight years old. They settled in 'Old Woodbine', in the Toronto area. The obituary for Ellen Maria Christmas, as published in the Flesherton Advance of 1927, stated that she suffered an arduous sea voyage of thirteen weeks and three days. >From what I've read of other journeys, they seem to take about 4-6 weeks. Given the great length of time that she spent at sea, I thought that there might be references somewhere to voyages that were of exceptional duration. Wouldn't you just know that the obit didn't include the ship's name. <sigh> If anyone can offer any clues or suggestions I'd be very grateful Cheers Diane Ottawa
