Hi, Britishnewspapersarchive has a couple of very interesting snippets on the Fanny and Capt Sadler . The Public Ledger and Daily Advertiser of Tuesday 29th April 1817 , says "A chartered ship - Has room for a few tons of measurement Goods, and will be dispatched immediately . For the Cape of Good Hope, the fine fast sailing coppered ship FANNY , William Sadler , Commander. For Freight etc app= (?) Laurence Swainson , Nag`s Head court, Gracechurch St, or to Day and McLean , 1 Clements Lane . Lombard St. " Same publication , but Friday 27th November 1818 , " A chartered ship warranted to sail on or before the 7th Decomber Direct for Leghorn . The remarkably fine , fast sailing Brig William and Mary , A 1 , William Sadler , commander, lying at the Hermitage, burthen 154 tons. " Hope this is of interest . -----Original Message----- From: Albie via Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2015 10:45 AM To: 'Mme_N_Carmichael' ; mariners@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MAR] Capt Sadler Thank you very much Adi for your willingness to help again! The information I have is from the 1820 settlers that came to South Africa and settled near Grahamstown South Africa and was well documented This Capt. Sadler and the “Fanny” was one of the ships bringing in a settler group and his son Thomas Farrar Sadler (1799-180) came out with him and stayed. >From my records it seems that the first name “William” is most likely and “Thomas” as a second. I think that #146 as you mentioned below is most probably correct. Adi, can one get more information about this William Sadler somewhere from mariner’s resources? Can you perhaps tell me the difference between the rank as “Mate” and “Only Mate” the latter being a certificate of one of our family members?

Or any other information or context? The newspapers show a FANNY with Sadler as master in 1816 and 1817 trading Pernambuco <-> London. Lloyd's 1820 Register of Shipping here: http://www.maritimearchives.co.uk/lloyds-register.html shows FANNY, a London transport, with master W. Sadler as #146 under the "F", but the information in those registers is often up to a year out of date. However the same information does also appear in the 1821 edition. But ... I don't see any 1820 references to FANNY under Sadler in the 1820 Lloyd's List newspaper here: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt/search?q1=Sadler;id=hvd.32044105226344;view=1up;seq=5;start=11;sz=10;page=search;orient=0 Regards, Adi _____ From: Albie via <mariners@rootsweb.com> To: mariners@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, September 6, 2015 5:15 AM Subject: Re: [MAR] Capt Sadler Hi, Could someone please guide me to research Capt Sadler and the ship "Fanny" in 1820 to East London, South Africa?
