Hello Harry,   I have no interest in SAYERS, But I did run across the name in something I was reading today, so sending it along for your 'waifs and strays' file.   >From "Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships" by Richard E. Keyes, a George SAYERS of Chichester was part owner (6/64ths) in June 1825 of English brig WILLIAM & MARY, 131 tons, built Emsworth 1790. Majority owner was widow Mary PIPPET of South Shields, master was William BITTLESTONE of ditto. Those two surnames *do* interest me.   Regards, Adi --- On Sun, 12/20/09, Harry Sayer <harry.sayer2@btinternet.com> wrote: Having done a lot of work on the SAYER name in Yorkshire I am now looking in more detail in Northumberland and Durham and will be pleased to hear from anyone with SAYER interests or records , however small .

Hi Adi , Thank you for your response to my request . The North/South connection could be of interest . Whilst the SAYER name is fairly common across several Southern Counties we are mindful that Shipping and Seafaring people moved around especially from Ports in the North East .So will keep your record on File Unfortunately I have no records of BITTLESTONE or PIPPET .. Best Wishes for Christmas , Harry Sayer , Ambleside . ----- Original Message ----- From: Mme N.
