Hi Dawn Gitlin, That website really does sound hopeful. I shall give it a try. Thanks for all the other info.

I have looked at it a few times as my ancestors were Master Mariners in Scarborough. If you scroll down and look at "An Index to Master Mariners born at Whitby ... (etc)" there are a number of Harlands including a Robert Harland and it gives his Master Mariner certificate details. Also, somewhere on the website, I found: 25 September 1851 - Lost with all hands the Brig "Fame" George Harland, Master Mariner, age 33, son of John and Elizabeth Benjamin Harland, age 19, also son of John and Elizabeth 1862 (?) Lost with all hands the Brig "Hero" James Harland, Master Mariner, son of John and Elizabeth. -----Original Message----- From: Anne Graham Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 11:29 PM To: yorksgen@rootsweb.com Subject: [YORKSGEN] Robert Harland 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 .....
