Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My grandfather George Edwin Webber served on this ship between 1st November 1895 and September 9th 1897. He may have actually been on board as this photo was taken. He was also on the HMS 'Belleisle' which was stationed in Kingstown from June 11th 1888 to 8th of March 1892. He married a girl named Margaret (born 1872) from Meath. Rose was born in Meath in 1896. Lilly, George and James arrived in the three years from 1898, but they were born in Lincolnshire. I have not yet found Margaret's maiden name.
