Untitled[edit]

If anyone wants the ref to this quote please either whistle, as I cant remember or help me find it. Poss House of lord records office or Burkes peerage?... Faedra

"all the court martial seemed terrified....except old Admiral Holboune, who cursed and swore at the bar of the House, because Byng was not shot out of the way, without giving him the trouble of coming from Portsmouth".

ALSO:

(nail me to a piece of wood...)

"...to sound out the channels, which they should do several times by way of refreshing their memories, this being the second great ship they have run ashore lately."

Is this item so irrelivant that no one has questioned my sources?

I must be some kind of histro nurd!!!

These references are burried deep in my own private family history files, that fill a cupboard, patience is a virtue, not the chief ornament!
