I shall have a look at find my past. Thanks too for the links to lists, I have not used any them, but have put a lot of info on the Caribbean Surnames index, with no joy so far.  I will try the these three lists you sent too.  You have given me some hope again, especially as Vessel Salsett says Antigua.   The family story was that he came from Kingston Jamaica and his birth, worked out from the death certificate, works out at 1863. "West Riding" crew list says, he was born in 1859 in Antigua. [I have a copy of the actual list from the Martime History Archive in Newfoundland.]   I am lucky that I have photo's of Everard and Keziah, plus their children, but it would be great to break through this brick wall.  If the actual crew list exists, there is a fair amount of information on them, which may confirm some of the info on "West Riding" crew list too. I have also found the house they lived in in 1901, which still exists. 395, Acton Lane.   Anyway, thanks so much for your input, which is very helpful.    Best wishes Ann From: Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 14 September 2012, 9:19 Subject: Re: [MDX] New database on Ancestry Masters & Mates certificates 1850 - 1927 Hi Ann Everard LYNCH 36 married Keziah MARTIN 24 in 1898 at St George Old Brentford Hounslow He was a Brewery Labourer His father was John LYNCH a Carpenter Hers was John William MARTIN a Laundryman both signed Witnesses Thomas John & Emma Jane EMMERSON I know you probably have all that but for others benefit) On findmypast in the crew lists there is an E LYNCH birth year 1867 Antigua Vessel Salsette This is for the 1890/91 period You might like to join one of the lists for the area and post there unless you already have <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ATG/ANTIGUA.html> <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Newsgroup_Gateways/CARIBBEAN.html> <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/WEST-INDIES.html> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 14/09/2012 00:26, Ann Moore wrote: > That is interesting Nivard. > > I wonder if my great grandfather, a Merchant Seaman, would be > included?  He was Everard Lynch,  a sail-maker on "West Riding" on > the London to Freemantle, Australia run.

Hi again Only a quick follow up to say the information on findmypast is a transcript and not terribly information You may need to visit the holder (Kew?) or use a researcher to get more I suspect I wouldn't want you to be disappointed Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Hi Nivard, > > Yes, I did know the first bits of info but....Wow!
