What I know is that this ship visited St Helena around March 1st 1852. Onboard was a Chaplain named "F. Fleming" and he made some watercolours of St Helena from the northeast when the ship was homebound from Cape of Good Hope. Are there any records of this F Fleming?

Joseph jnr was baptised at St. James' on 10th July 1856. I've asked them to see if they can find a birth record of Mary Ann Holland - I think she was probably the daughter of Joseph and Mary Ann. Thanks for your help. Louise McLean Louise I suspect your husband's family name was spelt Bacchus after the Roman God of wine, and quite possibly that his great grandfather roots came from ex-black slaves of the 1700's. It was common practice to give slaves classical names after Roman Gods, Biblical or Shakespearean. Names such as Plato, Mercury, Caesar,Augustus and Hercules are still quite common on the island. Also Benjamin, Isaac and Joshua. Good luck with your research hope this little bit of information is of use. Ron Croker Stornoway Scotland ----- Original Message ----- From: Louise Mclean To: list Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 11:27 PM Subject: [STHELENA] family search Like many others we are researching family history and have found a connection with St. Helena. My husbands great grandfather Joseph Bacchus (or Bachus) was born on St. Helena approximately 1856. We don't know how he came to Manchester but he appears on the 1871 census with a Mary Ann Holland (28) and her daughter Elizabeth (2). Joseph is 15 at the time of the census. They are lodgers in a house in Glass Street Hulme Manchester. Mary Ann is said to be a dressmaker and Joseph works as a cotton grinder. The next census in 1881 he has married a local girl in Manchester but is still a neighbour to Mary Ann and Elizabeth. Mary Ann was also born in St. Helena but her daughter was born in Manchester. They obviously travelled together from St. Helena. We would love any information as to the origins of the family - were they black/white/asian? Was the family in the army? Did Joseph's parents die young? Does anyone know where we might find any of the above information.

For some reason it did not get forwarded to my inbox, and I only this morning took the time to check out the list. Here is the rest of what I know. Please forgive the question marks. I am translating from Russian, and I don't know place names in Africa: Peter Christian Gernet was the son of a merchant in Archangel Russia, George Gernet and his wife Eugenia Amalia Rohde, and was born 11 August 1815. He is listed as leaving Archangel on the passenger list of the "Betsy Brandt" on the voyage of 22 Sept 1831. He married Rosetta Migliora Barker at St Helena Island on 11 March 1847 (born St Helena 27 June 1824, daughter of RW Barker & Anna). Peter & Rosetta had one son, Edward Friedrich (I think this should be the German spelling, but may appear in other documents as Frederick) William Gernet, born 2 June 1849 on St Helena Island. Some time later the family went to North Africa, where they had two more children: Joseph Charles Rait (?) Gernet born at Salem (?) River, Capestate (Is this the name for the area around the Cape? I have tried to search for the name on the Net, but don't get anything in Africa) on 12 November 1864, christened 7 May 1865 in the church of St Joanna in Capestate; and Anna Elena Agnes Gernet born 27 June 1867 in Capestate and christened in the St George Cathedral on 29 May 1868. On 20 August 1869 Peter and his family arrived in St Petersburg and requested citizenship of Archangel. Prior to his departure overseas, Peter had, according to Russian custom called himself Peter, but at the time of his return to Russia in 1869 he was using the name Christian. This resulted in confusion with the process of applying for a passport lasting over 2 years. Peter gave up waiting for a result, and took his family overseas again. He was eventually granted citizenship, written into the registers of Archangel municipality and sent a passport, but he did not return to Russia. Edward, his son, died in Lisbon on 28 August 1875. Of Joseph there is no further information. Anna was living in Moscow in 1888. After the death of her parents in 1879 her aunt Henrietta Repin proposed that she would adopt Anna, but Anna refused. Rosetta died on 19 January 1879, and Peter Christian died 10 days later on 29 Jan 1879, the latter probably in Lisbon. It is also known that Rosetta's brother Peter Christian Rait (?) was living in Capestate in 1871. As I mentioned earlier, Serge is a serious historian, and can give you much more on the Gernet side if you are interested and I know he would like to correspond with you. We will need to work out how best to facilitate that as he lives in Russia and does not have access to email. Thanks again for responding.

The Sat Phone rates you quote are comparable with the rates I pay as a domestic customer but I guess the call-box charges are higher. Whether or not the Sat Phone is cheaper it may be more convenient, as there are only about 20 payphones across the island. Some take phone cards and some take cash and, although they are usually swiftly fixed when they are reported broken, you can imagine that if you really needed one ..... Be aware, however, that we are not necessarily in range of every satellite. Check with your provider. The South Atlantic is poorly covered, due to having negligible population density. If you need local currency information you'll find plenty on the bank's website. I hope you enjoy the visit.

I am considering applying for a job vacancy to teach Maths on the island. There appears to be a Government recruitment drive at present. I am seeking encouraging but truthful island testimonials with particular reference to the quality of life and the possible benefits of teaching on your unspoilt island. I am currently based in England, of Scottish heritage and married to a Motswana ( native of Botswana ) wife. All helpful/truthful comments much appreciated.
