Hello Carol,   Have you seen this page of Bridlington history? - three mentions of LAVINIA, one of Anthony Hindson and a description of the memorial in Bridlington churchyard. http://www.savebridlingtonhospital.co.uk/bridhistory/greatstorm.html   "In the churchyard at Bridlington a monument has been erected by public subscription, and placed near to where the bodies are interred, so as to perpetuate to future generations this melancholy story. The monument consists of four sides. The south side contains the names of those who lost their lives in the �Harbinger,' while nobly endeavouring to save those whose rest here, viz:- Robert Puckering, John Clappison, Richard Atkin, James Watson, David Purdon and William Cobb. On the east side is inscribed as follows:- �In lasting memory of a great company of seamen who perished in the fearful gale which swept over Bridlington Bay , on February 10 th , 1871 . The waves of the sea are mighty and rage horribly, but the Lord who dwelleth on high is mightier.� On the north side are the names of the vessels, viz:- �The Arrow,' of Sunderland; �Caroline,' of Whitby; �John', Whitstable; �Lavinia,' Seaham; �Delta,' Whitby; �Margaret', Ipswich; �Produce', Folkestone; �Terestz', Harwich; �William Maitland,' Whitby; and an unknown English schooner, were wrecked on the 10 th of February 1871, with loss of life, in Bridlington Bay. Thirteen other vessels were lost in the bay in the same gale.' On the west-side, �Forty-three bodies of those who on that day lost their lives lie in this churchyard, near this monument.� "   Here'[s another page with details of that gale: http://sprobson.f2s.com/t1871.html   Here's a link to an image of one side of that memorial: http://sprobson.f2s.com/img/t1871a.jpg    and another side: http://sprobson.f2s.com/img/t1871b.jpg   LAVINIA is named on this side: http://sprobson.f2s.com/img/t1871c.jpg   and here's the fourth side: http://sprobson.f2s.com/img/t1871d.jpg   and here's the whole: http://www.rebus.demon.co.uk/biogs/sailmem1.jpg     The webpage whence came the image of the whole is about David Purdon, who died attempting to rescue men in that gale and there is a list of sources at the bottom of the page. You might find a bit more about Anthony Hindson in those sources.   Regards, Adi
