Hello List, I am a bit out of my territory here, being normally a researcher in the West Wales areas and a subscriber to the Dyfed rootsweb lists. Whilst researching my family tree, I chanced upon the following inscription in a Baptist Chapel graveyard near Cardigan in West Wales (Penybryn Baptists): "... Also of OWEN WILLIAMS, Son of the above [Stephen Williams 1777-1832], late Master of the Schooner Artuoise, who was shipwrecked near the Island of Tyre (sic) and buried at Kilmichalog (sic) in the Highlands of Scotland Nov 20th 1830 aged 28 years." I assume that "Tire" is Tiree, but where is Kilmichalog? Is it Kilmoluaig, Tiree? The "Artuoise" was a schooner of about 100 tons, built in 1823 and registered in Cardigan and certainly lost in 1830. The Williams family were shareholders in the vessel and were curriers in and around Cardigan for several generations. Can any lister shed any light on the fate of the "Artuoise", where I might find any comtemporary reports, or whether there is any memorial on Tiree (or elsewhere) to the men who were lost? I imagine that news of the incident may have taken a while to get back home and that names would have been rendered phonetically. I found a similar MI to another member of the crew in Llangoedmore churchyard (a parish adjacent to Cardigan). Many thanks in advance. Simon Carter s.n.carter@btinternet.com
