Hi JOan,
Apologis for the delayed reply! I haven't had much spare time lately to work on my family history :) I haven't organised anything yet, I just thought it might be a nice idea to do one year. Maybe 2012…
Loraine Kiely commented on Bernard Bolch's photo
This is fantastic! I have only just seen this as I haven't managed to get time to work on my research for ages. Thanks very much for posting this for us all to see :)

RE: Lloyds of London entry
RE: tonnage of John Linn.
The Llyods Register of British and Foreign Shipping 1776-1880 which I accessed through State Library Victoria 1982 (may need to be revisited) shows:
