Annette, I recommend you contact Richard Rose, whose magnum opus entitled "Pembroke People" (ISBN 0-9535542-0-1) is coming out next week: your ancestor may be in it. Richard is at Rrose@OtterquillBooks.com > From: "Annette.Musker" <amusker@lineone.net> > Does anyone know whether records were kept of ships constructed in Pembroke > Dock in the middle years of the 19th century? It looks as though my > ancestor, who was a journeyman shipwright, must have worked in Pembroke for > a while and there met his wife. They then returned to Liverpool to marry. > Their son, Henry James Musker, was to be found living with his grandmother > in Pembroke Dock by 1881, so I assume that the father died and the mother > returned home to live. > > What I'd like to know is whether there's any way of finding out what ships > were being constructed c. 1858-60, so that I can try to work out my gtgt > grandfather's movements.
