    Default Can anyone identify this crew member from the Duke of Argyll ferry?

    I am trying to trace my great-aunt, Angela Dolan, who was born in 1918 in Co. Fermanagh but came to Belfast in 1945. I recently came across a photo taken on board the Duke of Argyll, a ferry that sailed between Belfast and Heysham from 1956-1975, which shows a crew member identified only as 'Angela' (no surname given). I am trying to work out whether this could be my great-aunt, and I was just wondering if anyone recognised the lady in the photograph? She is on the top right of the picture, looking away from the camera. Any recollections or advice as to how I could go about identifying her would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much Doc, that info is massively helpful! I will investigate the National Archives further.

    Worth a try anyway!

    Hello Zoe,
    I see your same request on Ships Nostalgia ... Would suggest try Belfast Forum - Index ... There is also a possible photo of Angela Dolan 1918 on a Private tree. "McEvoyMcDonaghFamily" registered on Ancestry® | Genealogy, Family Trees & Family History Records
    Regards, John
