David Great B. 1888 Dept.1912 From London to Brisbane

Helen Great B. 1867 Dept.1922 - From London to Brisbane

It's the ship names and their address in UK that I want to know. I am sure one might have last address as Rhu.

Row is actually the old name for Rhu. It used to be in Dunbartonshire but got moved into Argyll and Bute in a boundary change a few years back.

One entrance to Clarinish is on the A814 (Gareloch Road) and I drive past it every time I go shopping!! Unfortunately the house is invisible from the road, but can probably be seen on Google Earth if there aren't too many trees. (I can't look because my version of Google Earth is refusing to open at the moment!!)

Thanks folks, that's GREAT
Argyllgran could you do the same thing for the remaining Ardencaple Castle tower, please, as I am finding it hard to pin point on a map. Helen Great , in the original question, was a lady gardener at the castle before taking the ship to Australia.

It's in Ardencaple Drive, Helensburgh. If you Google it, there are lots of sites to choose from and masses of info, including photos.

I can't find any Ardencapel castle. However, there is an Ardencapel Farm 2km E of Rhu kirk. This farm seems to have been built between 1864/5 and 1898. In the same time slot, a large country house (Glenoran) appears just 300m to SW. It looks like it had extensive grounds, and would certainly have had gardeners. You can input Glenoran's OS coordinates 228000,283950 at:
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html
for old maps -and for modern maps at:

Glenoran disappeared between 1970 and 1973-6. All these dates are the dates the maps were published, not the dates the underlying surveying was done.

EDIT Just seen Andysmum's post.

As Andysmum says, just Google it, and you'll find plenty about it.

Yes thanks - I had Googled it and found all the photos and history listed but thanks to Andysmum, who gave me a street name, I can now find it on Google Earth. (Only viewable from a few positions through the house tops at street view) Thank-you to all who added extra info.
