Just a thought... If your ships to Canada may also have had New York as a landing port, the Ellis Island site, ellisisland.org, has photos of ships. You might find yours there. You may need to register but it is free. Go to the drop down menu from Passenger Search and go from there. Janice

You could try the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich (London). They have a vast collection of photos and may be able to help. If they do have a modern photo of any given ship the cost is not very much. But... if they have only an old photo, which needs to be reproduced using modern methods / technology the cost of a copy is considerably more. Unfortunately the only way of finding out is to contact them and ask. To do this Google "National Maritime Museum" and follow the on-screen links / instructions. Hope this helps, Ken.

They were farmers living at 46 Clarendon Road, Redland, Bristol, Holy Trinity parish, with 4 kids, in the 1901 and the 1911 censuses. Mary Hibbard’s death, at the age of 82, was recorded in Bristol in 1939. Charles and Mary had issue: a. Mabel Susannah HIBBARD, born about Q1 of 1889 in Stanton St. Quintin.

For general sites or by the ship's name? If the latter, it's possible there isn't an image available. These sites could be worth a try: www.nmm.ac.uk/ (National Maritime Museum) www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/Emigrationmain.html and www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/maritime/ London, Southampton and Plymouth were also departure points as well as Bristol and Liverpool. It cold be worth joining the London or Middlesex, Hampshire, Devon and Lancashire lists. Someone on them may know of local sources not available online or nationally.

Hello All; Now that I have managed, after 17 years or so, to collect photos of my direct ancestors I am on the hunt for photos of the Ships that they came across the Atlantic to Canada on. Is there a web site, shop in England or British Ships Archives where I can order a copy? I have Googled and wasn't successful. Thanks Glen A. Yearsley

Hi Glen, I've seen images on Castlegarden for US bound and The Ships List has some, I'm not sure about Immigrant Ships yet you may want to look.  A question for you, where did you find the ship they came on?  I'm alway hoping to find new sources. http://www.immigrantships.net/ http://www.castlegarden.org/ http://www.theshipslist.com/  Paul Ohio, USA ----- Original Message ---- > From: Glen Yearsley <yearsley@rogers.com> > To: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com; gloucester@rootsweb.com > Sent: Thu, April 7, 2011 7:33:00 AM > Subject: [GLS] Ship Photos > > Hello All; > > Now that I have managed, after 17 years or so, to collect photos of my > direct ancestors I am on the hunt for photos of the Ships that they came > across the Atlantic to Canada on.

Hi Bev, I posted the original message about Game Certificates on the GOONs site as well. Is it OK to pass on your message about the Devon list, please? Long lists are often helpful to One-Name researchers.

The Game Act 1831 can be found here. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Will4/1-2/32 I suppose to have a licence the person would have to prove to a magistrate that they owned/rented the land on which game was to be hunted or that they were employed as a gamekeeper by the landowner/occupant.

You appeared to have identified that yourself in your original message: landowners, those who rented estates, gamekeepers. The latter wouldn't have been high social status; servants, yes, but well above ag labs, more lower middle class as far as I can judge. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

The Gloucester Journal listed those who had purchased Game Certificates in the nineteenth century. The list for September 22nd 1823 included the name of Isaac ISAAC, whose daughter, Ann, married Henry Matthew HESKINS. The charge to Isaac ISAAC, of Wickwar, was £3-13s-6d. The list includes the names of landed gentry, people with a position in society and large scale farmers. Amongst those also listed are Robert KINGSCOTE of Kingscote and Rev Anthony KECK, vicar of Horsley. As far as I can establish Isaac ISAAC had a moderately sized farm. His name does not appear in earlier or later Game Certificate lists. Maybe there was some type of game that was causing a problem on his farm for which he needed a licence. The Gloucester Journal also has a list of gamekeepers, such as John LOVEGROVE, for Edward SHEPPARD Esq, Mincinhampton and Avening [an owner of a considerable amount of property]. The lists were published in the late summer and early autumn of each year. Is anyone aware of the significance of a Game Certificate? Cheers, Janet Heskins
