iwon't be in Orkney to greet you but the name (Edward) CLOUSTON is recorded in the IRVINE history as being the name of the HBC agent who signed on one John Irvine and family at Stromness, HBC wharf (today's Pier Arts' Centre) in October 1850, bound for London, England, aboard the steamship, Trident. The HBC servants there boarded the barque, Tory, November 10th, to sail 'round the Horn to New Caledonia, arriving May 14th, 1851. Have a safe and enjoyable journey to Orkney. bill http://islandnet.com/~wji/tapstr06.jpg ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Clouston <mike@mikeclouston.co.uk> Date: Monday, August 9, 2004 7:17 am Subject: [<orcadia>] Going home! > Hello listers, > > I'm going home to Orkney for two weeks' holiday 1-14 September. > If any one who will be there at the same time wants to meet, > please > e-mail me privately. > > Mike Clouston > > > ==== ORCADIA Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from the Orcadia mailing list, send an e-mail with > the word > 'unsubscribe' in the message body to orcadia-l-request@rootsweb.com > >
