Hello, Hoping someone can give any information on Robert Harland of Whitby who died in the Whitby Lifeboat Disaster of 1861. We believe he belongs in our Family Tree and would like any information about him or his family - he died leaving a wife & 6 children. We have a number of Harlands in our Tree, but up to now cannot find a connection to Robert. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Anne Graham
