The great, great, great great grandson of George and Harriet Errington read it as well .
He gave us some inside information and some unsolved questions.
Harriet (George's wife) emmigrated to America with four daughters (Harriet, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Georgianna) and one son (Benjamin).
The emmigration is documented in the ships log of 10 October 1832 of which he has a copy.
He has no record of when Harriet's husband George nor their son George Washington Errington emmigrated although both appear in historical records of New York and Michigan respectively.
The only record he has of George and Harriet's daughter Susan is her baptism in St. Nicholas.
Unless she married and emmigrated to America or stayed in Great Yarmouth living under her husbands name He has no clue.
So maybe we can solve this puzzle and answer that question for him.
And also there is a question about a date of the severe storm in which the Erringtons lost their livelihood
and chose to move to America as the result of losing many ships in a severe storm.
However, the date of the storm is unknown to us. He can't support the 1836 date mentioned in the Blog.
As the family moved in 1832.
So maybe someone knows the right date and will let us know.
