Hi Sarah
The Cambrian online index
http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5673 brings up a story a
little later
Cambrian E31 SHIPS AND SHIPPING, PORT REGISTERS, ARRIVALS AT SWANSEA 17
January 1851 GALE AT SWANSEA:THE BARQUE BRITISH YEOMAN AND THE ALDERMAN
PIRIE,WEATHER STORM.
Probably not much help but perhaps the story has been confused. I don't
think you have mentioned your gggrandfather's name or at least which is him?
If you have access to the Gale databases you might find something there.
Regards
Lyn
In Oz.

Subject: [GLA] Gale of January 1851
Advise please on finding more about the gale of what I believe to be January
8th 1851 that drowned my gggrandfather and two other Hobblers, the Pilot
and the pilots boy.
They apparently were on the Liskeard out of Plymouth. I cannot find
anything on the Liskeard, I have googled Hobbler and it appears it could be
several things but most likely a pilot in training? john Morgan was the
pilot and could be the Pilot found registered on Bob Sanders website in
1833. John Williams died with his brother in law Joseph Wright,
The other Hobbler was John Webber and the "boy" isn't listed. The ship is
listed as being lost in Penarth Roads but nothing significant comes up in
google. If his widow is living at 56 bridge street Cardiff, with her
father-in law at Millicent Street cardiff with her first born child and
there was no body recovered, would he have a headstone in a graveyard? Or
just a death certificate. If he wasn't a registered Pilot I am assuming
his wife couldn't apply to the pilotage board for help?
Any suggestions?
