Hi, Listers, and may you have the Merriest of Christmases! Does anyone know of available lists of passengers on ships that sailed in the mid to late 1800s from England to South America and Chile in particular? I am looking for information about William Guillermo Plomer Withiel PHILLIPS, b. 1851, Falmouth, son of Robert Withiel PHILLIPS and Mary Pearson PLOMER. William was enumerated with his parents in 1871 in Birmingham, Warwickshire Co., and was a merchant in Concepcion, Chile according to a letter his dad wrote in 1880 tp my ancestor’s family in Wisconsin. So my window for his travel is 1871-1880, probably 1872-1878. I am in touch with living descendants of William, but they know very little about their ancestor. Hopefully, my work on the PHILLIPS – HOSKING – THOMAS families can be completed prior to the FIRST INTERNATIONAL PHILLIPS CORNISH CLAN GATHERING to be held in Falmouth next April. Descendants, please contact me via email for more information. Also, I am coming from Houston and need suggestions on how to travel to Cornwall. Should I fly to London and rent a car and drive all the way down? Or should I get a train in London and go to Cornwall and then rent a car? Where? I plan on going to Land’s End and St. Levan prior to the PHILLIPS event to do research on my LADNER line... and then to Paul, Newlyn... Then, the gathering is headquartered in Falmouth. What is the Greenbank Hotel like? Worth its pricey rate, even in low season? Or does anyone know anything about a b & b called Trefusis Barton, Flushing TR11 5TD . Farm on Trefusis Estate between Mylor and Flushing. Then do any of you have suggestions of where I might stay while in St. Levan? I will be asking for more ideas on how to conduct my travel and research after the first of the year. Blessings to all. Meli in Texas
