Thank you for your response. I am just checking some facts at the moment ... I had assumed that someone who has been researching the Corrins from the IOM had done lots of research, but is turns out they have only some bare facts on Thomas Corrin and have taken some huge assumptions from the 1851 & 1861 Census.

Bear with me while we check out some facts and if it indeed this Thomas we are looking for, I would love the receive the information you offered about what vessels he was on.

Many thanks Barbara
