Family tradition is that the seaman who was lost on the Ashford was my grandfather's brother, Robert Thompson. However both family tradition, and the official record of the Register of Deceased Seamen, say he drowned in Gloucester in March 1911 (see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~econnolly/register/regni1910_13.html) But as the Ashford actually sank in 1906, we are now wondering why the family wasn't notified of Robert's death for about 5 years. If you know anyone who knows more about the Ashford's history, crew lists or even ship's log I'd love to be put in touch with them. Best Regards Mark Hello Mark,
