Thanks for writing with that Alandra. I remembered that you lived in Hampshire. How fascinating to find out the long links with ships and the navy. I hadn't realised that there were only two Andromedas. I must tell my Mum and see did she know. I'm not one for contests ususlly, but I'll have a look! Thanks Alandra.

Hi again Mary, am wondering if you know about the monthly contests we have? It'd be nice if you entered also.

Hi Mary, after asking you about "Andromeda" ship, I did a search on Google and found that there have been 2 ships with that name in the Royal Navy. One back in the late 1800's and one more recent. Amazing the info a person can find out via Google, isn't it!

Some of my Hampshire ancestors were timber merchants and shipbuilders in/nr the New Forest, Hants, the Wyatt brothers, - who built the first warship ("The Surprise") for the Royal Navy.

Thanks for writing Carol. I'm awful at geography, but if my map reading is right, then Uldale is the Lake District. That is a really beautiful place.

Thanks Alandra. It was your great old pictures which made me want to do this. I keep going back to that beautiful one of your paternal grandmother (also keep looking at your wonderful "Sunset Boundary" pictures!). I must show my Mum the photos of your RN Dad. You have the name of the ship exactly right. He was in the navy alright, but not for as long as your Dad- just amazing to hear of different lives.

Thanks Mary. I asked my Mum and she says he was about only 18 or 20 when this was taken- the only one they have of him. I guess he must have been born roundabout the end of the 1800's. It so amazes me I can now have it on a computer!

good looking man, Mary. Love these "oldie" photos. Am trying to read the name of the ship on the hatband "Andromeda"? Was your Grandfather in the Royal Navy? - my Dad was in the RN for 26 years. there are some pics of him on my gallery also.
