I have two brothers who were lost at sea Nov 1871. These shipwrecks could be the ones involved. 10.11.1871 Queen and Craft, Plymouth. 17.11.71 Good Intent, Par to Newport. 25.1.71 Margaret Williams and Commerce, Mevagissey, Pentewan Sands. 25.11.71 Swift, Penzance. 27.11.71 Lavinia, Lands End. Anybody have any suggestions as to where to look for details of the crew?

Thanks for the replies. I found four of the ships and the reference numbers. I wasn't sure of what to do next, so I have E.Mailed the Devon Record Office to ask what info they have that is available. Jan
