Hello allI am researching the family of Thomas and Fanny Skey of Gloucestershire, UK. They had 10 sons, seven of whom were definitely mariners. Two, at least, died at sea - Joseph in 1834 and Samuel in 1848. William (deliberately) never returned from a voyage to Tahiti, Octavius was apprenticed as a mariner at the age of 16, but seems to have run away to the USA, Frederick died in Madras (having apparently married bigamously) and Charles was transported as a convict to Tasmania. My questions are these:Was Henry, 1806-1850, also a mariner? And when did Thomas (a master mariner born 1803) die? Was it at sea?I know that the following ships were associated with Skey master mariners and seamen. I'd be very grateful for any further information or hints for further research. (I've looked at Lloyd's Lists)1834 The Harriet (Which Skey?)1835 The Albion arrives at Hastings from Sydney. Reg. 1835 London (Which Skey?)1849 John Campbell in trouble off Long Island (Which Skey?)Fortune (William)Sarah (Frederick)Montreal and Marianna (Samuel)Recovery, Favourite, Lady Louisa, Timothy (Charles. These seem to have been whalers.)Thanks!Toni
