I know that Pat ADAIR is researching the NEALE family and that the SHIPP sisters Beverly and Linda are researching their ancestry. Obviosuly the SHIPP family is improtant to us all as they ran the Beaufort for a time. I note from the burial registers that in 1870 3 month old Martin Neale SHIPP was buried. I wonder if Pat can shed any light on this child or his possible father (?) or with any connections to the SHIPP family. MY apologies for forgetting to ask you during our chat on messenger a few moments ago Pat. Geoffro The Pond Dipper
