    1. [NFK] Education in Kings Lynn c1800 - 1820
    2. Bob Vine
    3. I have a 2xGGreat Grandfather, born 1796, lived in Kings Lynn and migrated to New Zealand via Australia 1836 -1840. Evidence, by way of letters he wrote to Colonial Officials in Australia and New Zealand, is that he had received a sound education. My question is "where"? Family lore had it that it was at a nautical college in Glasgow but I can find no evidence of this - even the existence of a nautical college. Family circumstances would also seem to rule this out. I would be extremely appreciative of any assistance that could be offered with this. Bob Lower Hutt, NEW ZEALAND www.bobvine.gen.nz/genealogy
