Although we will do all we can to assist,
one thought is that you could contact the
Scottish Maritime Museum,

I was thinking back to a few years ago,
I paid a visit to the Irvine Museum as I
was that way to do with the City of Adelaide.

I would hope they may assist you,
they helped me quite a bit at the
time.

They would probably know someone
in nearby Ayr otherwise that may
help more ?

Unfortunately, that was just me.

Someone had told me they had seen a photo of James with his son John in the Ayr Harbour area but after trying every avenue, I couldn't find the photo - maybe it doesn't even exist.

Thanks

Dave

Could this person possibly be re-contacted
for an update / further info ?

I have tried so hard to contact her - adverts in newspapers, social media etc - problem is I don't know who she was - she talked in my ear while I was holding a different conversation - odd I know - but by the time my conversation had finished she had gone - very, very, frustrating.

Unfortunately, the Scottish Maritime Museum couldn't help.

Yes 38 Union Avenue was the family home for many years.

Yes I combed through the Post Office directories but they were sadly lacking in photos! :-)

Personally, I do not use pay sites, I have found generally much can be found and hopefully other members
of the team may yet help that have accounts with ancestry, find my past etc.

I finally got a photo of my relatives a few years ago after near 10 years of trying. It was via a distant
relative.

Fingers crossed.

Keith.

PS. RE: Unfortunately, the Scottish Maritime Museum couldn't help.

I had hoped that they may have suggested someone that could.

Hello,

I really would like a photograph of a merchant navy sea captain who was a skipper from 1874 to about 1900 - are there any sites where there are pics of skippers from the past?

Thanks

Dave

Possibly, worth contacting family history society's etc in the Ayr area?

North Ayrshire Family History Society Links Page

Just a suggestion, It worked for me a while ago finding distant rellies etc in Oz via the Mooroopna
Family history society.
