The Rothsay Castle Empty The Rothsay Castle

Post  Duckworth Hall Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:26 pm

Can anybody give me any info whatsoever on the Rothsay Castle wreck ( Beaumaris 1831) in which many from Bury perished.
I have an interest in this, as my ancestor Lawrence Duckworth and his wife Mary (nee Knowles) were on this steam packet.
I have searched the internet, and contacted Bury library etc.
I've even purchased a book on the subject dating from 1834 "The Wreck of the Rothsay Castle"
Has anyone in the society got any snippets of information they might like to share with me?

Thanks
Duckworth Hall

Hello Duckworth Hall.

I have put a mention in my report in the next Journal (publication date mid May) about the Rothesay Castle. It might just produce something for you.
