Thanks to everyone who helped with my request. I am now very interested in the following Lt Shortt: Vol 24, Ramoan Parish. page 94. Gentlemen's Seats. Lieutenant Shortt R.N., chief officer of coastguard: the residences of these gentlemen are plain substantial houses. mostly 2 stories high and without anything in their architecture or appearance worthy of description. Insert marginal note by Dawson: These are not worthy of notice). As you can see the name Short is spelt with 2 T's. Volume 24 Page 94, Ramoan Parish, for the reference to Lt. Shortt Royal navy Lt. chief officer in the Coastguard- residence in Ballycastle Anyone have any ideas about tracking down Lt. Shortt? Margaret Gordon
