Hi Gordon, Thanks for posting this. Coincidence, you entered Mystic Seaport as I spent the day in Connecticut, my first outing in more than 3 years. That's a nice painting, am happy for you that you could get some sort of imagery for your records. I waited too long to start my genealogy so have very few snippets even through family. All I know of my great grandmother from England is that some of her kids nick-named her "Queen Elizabeth" do to her expecting folks to wait on her, (no offense to your Queen). I regret not having an interest when my grandmothers were alive, and my grandfathers I never met. Although I once asked my paternal grandmother about why she came to the U.S. and I asked her to tell me about my grandfather and was answered that children should be seen and not heard and to mind my own business. So every little thing I can get makes me feel blessed. Thanks for sharing Eleanor In a message dated 1/17/2011 3:46:01 A.M.

She was sold to a firm in Llanelli, South Wales, and re-named GLAN MOR under the British flag :- http://library.mysticseaport.org/initiative/SPSearch.cfm?ID=632038 The GLAN MOR was lost in the River St Lawrence, near Quebec, on 28 April 1869. Although I have no documentary evidence whatsoever to prove it, my grandfather Edward Glenburn EVANS is known to have been born on board this vessel in 1861, somewhere between Cadiz (Spain) and Montevideo (Uruguay). I had to purchase my pics of the BLYTHSWOOD (at not inconsiderable expense) from the Maritime Museum in London, but by a stroke of luck was able to download a pic of grandad's birthplace for free when a painting of the GLENBURN came up for auction in the USA some 11 years ago :- http://www.artnet.com/artist/558930/michele-renault.html My collection of 'snippets' isn't just down to good fortune, by the way. It's taken my family (mostly two of my younger brothers plus kind cousins such as Yvonne and Pam) over 30 years of hard graft to get where we are today. :-) Regards Gordon From: <Preulet@aol.com> To: <eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2011 10:05 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] HANCOCK, Thomas's son of Jane PARR >Hi Gordon, >What a very interesting piece of family history.

Hi Eleanor Hope you don,t mind me butting in here but do you know if there is a Replica of the U.S. Frigate Constellation in Connecticut ? I would love a couple of photos of her Cheers George --- On Tue, 18/1/11, Preulet@aol.com <Preulet@aol.com> wrote: From: Preulet@aol.com <Preulet@aol.com> Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] HANCOCK, Thomas's son of Jane PARR To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, 18 January, 2011, 0:33 Hi Gordon, Thanks for posting this.  Coincidence, you entered  Mystic  Seaport as I spent the day in Connecticut, my first outing in more than 3 years.  That's a nice painting, am happy for you that you could get some sort of  imagery for your records.  I waited too long to start my genealogy so have very few  snippets even through family.  All I know of my great grandmother from  England is that some of her kids nick-named her "Queen Elizabeth" do  to her expecting folks to wait on her, (no offense to your Queen).
