Hello everyone My GG-Grandfather, Captain James NEISH was a mariner who went to India under the license of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, as a free mariner, in about 1807. I have been able to record most of his Ships and Voyages from then until about 1840 when he retired from the sea and made his home in Dundee, Scotland. . His wife and family always sailed with him and all the children were born in Asia. My question is not so much about him but about his eldest son, Thomas NEISH, born July 26, 1817 - In Bengal, India. While I was able to continue the Family History from 1840 onward in Scotland, no mention of the Son Thomas was ever included. My Captain died in 1867 and it was evident by his Last Will that the family had lost track of Thomas - as - he made provision for his son Thomas, adding "if he be in life". I have always hoped to be the one to find the missing son but to no avail - until to-day when I found an entry that has given me a glimmer of hope. It reads :: Algoa Bay - APAME Brig 167 - T. NEISH - from London July 12 to this port Oct. 1847 I have also been able to ascertain that The Brig APAME was Dundee Registered. Might someone be able to point me in the direction to take me a step further ? Much obliged for any and all direction Barbara Neish Bermuda
