Hi, This is my first time on this list and I am searching for a William Howlett wife Elizabeth. Their son William Henry Howlett was christened 14 March 1806 at St. Thomas Portsmouth. (IGI batch no. C062513) He married in Liverpool and lived there. On the 1881 census he said he was born at sea. 1851 census he said he was born in Portsmouth. I am trying to find any information of his parents, where they came from. If anyone can point me in the right direction regarding ships coming into Portsmouth I would be very grateful. Thank you, Audrey Thomas.
