(not sure if Editor, would have something to do with Shipping and Movements as above, below Plymouth Archives could possibly help with publications that were around that time)

'Please' and 'thank you' wouldn't go amiss

And not all info is on line, although you should look at

https://familysearch.org/

Try the County Records Office, if you are able to visit

Thanks for any help. I am in Plymouth visiting the PRO & library. Still hard to get further back! Ruth
