I have references about Captain William Hindmarsh sailing the ship Fanny in 1850 ': Liverppool Mercury, Fri. 13th Dec. 1850, Wed. Dec. 11th .....Fanny, Hindmarsh hence at San Francisco Liverpool Mercury Fri. 27th Dec. 1850 ' Melancholy Tidings From California ' A report sent back by Capt. Hindmarsh to his wife about the fate of two local Belford young men. Newcastle Journal, Sat, 18th Jan. 1851 , ' The Late Messrs William and James Dinning ' this contains a more detailed account from Capt. Hindmarsh of what had happened to the two young men. This is fairly certainly Capt. Hindmarsh's last sailing as in future references he is postmaster at Belford. Would someone please direct me as to how to find detail of this ship Thank you Jo
