I hope someone does have ideas, as I have one born on the sea Even worse than that, I think it was on the way from Ireland. Linda |

Over Seas births ! seriously - 1837Online has such a section, also I seem to remember a 'deaths at sea' section on the GRO, maybe theres an equivalent 'births at at sea' ? Kind regards, LD |

Thank you for the tips, unfortunately the one I need was 1800, so too early for these ideas. Linda |
