Did it ever get mentioned to you that the Captain of the ship may have required a marriage cert prior to them being allowed on board? Quite common in those days. Were they RC or Protestant? William is a very unusual name if they are RC. Did you get the place name in the marriage cert that they were married? Most of my research is on the RC side but I do have some items from the protestant. look forward to hearing from you again....Martin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
