Hello Jenny, Since we last corresponded, there are now many more historical Irish newspapers online (subscription site).https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/ Have you already been to London Metropolitan Archives to view Lloyd's Captains Registers for these few below that I have copied from the index? At least two of them are yours. You'll get vessel names and voyage dates from these. You may also find the previous sea experience for John, b. 1856 Dunmore and for Robert b. 1840 Sunderland in the Masters and Mates database at Ancestry. (You will need to use the scroll arrows both backwards and forwards to see all the pages in each file.) You may also find the other two in that database but I am not sure how to interpret their document numbers (S38073 and CHT100854, later CHT85892). Perhaps someone else here on the list can help with that.  DIGGINS, John b. Norfolk 1806 S38073 vol.4 1856-73; vol.18 1874-77; vol.31 1880 DIGGINS, John b.
