Hello I am looking for any leads about ARCHIBALD GLASS b.Abt 1822 from BELFAST. He married MARGARET TAYLOR His son ARCHIBALD b.Abt 1843 Belfast went to New Zealand in 1860's. I'm looking for the Irish connections. I have info on the NZ side to share. I believe that St Annes's Cathedral Shankill Belfast was the nearest church. . Is there any one who can check the parish records for me?? Please......We have tried writing to them but have had no response.. THANKS A LOT Does anyone know about the GLASS of BELFAST connection??? They may have been originally Scottish as apparently he was often heard to speak of "a wee dram" and other expressions. When was the GLASS name first found in Belfast? thanks also @hotmail.com FROM SOUTHERN CROSS (Auckland) 29 MARCH 1865 PAGE 4 COLUM 2 ARRIVAL OF THE CLIPPER SHIP PEGASUS FROM LONDON The fine ship "Pegasus" in command of Captain Thomas Cornwell, R.N.R., late of the Royal Stuart, anchored in the harbour at 5 o'clock yesterday, after a rapid passage of 94 days from London, bringing a valuable cargo of general merchandise, and 233 passengers, 150 of whom are assisted immigrants, selected by Mr.Daldy. Captain Cornwell has brought his ship into harbour in a clean and most credible condition and the passengers have presented him with a complimentary address, for his care and kind treatment to them during the voyage. The following report was furnished by Captain Cornwell:- Left Gravesend on the 22nd December, and passed through the channel on the 24th. Went outside Cape de Verde islands; crossed the equator on the 19th of January (26 days out), in long. 26.30 W., and rounded the meridian of the Cape on the 14th February in the 47th parallel of Latitude, with brisk and steady West winds, which continued for five days, with sleet, hail and rain from S.E.. Afterwards had strong winds veering from N.W. to S.W., and ran down her easting between the parallels of 45o and 50o south, experiencing very cold weather. Sighted South Cape of Tasmania on the 16th of March, in which locality encountered a violent gale from N.N.E. suddenly shifting to S.W.., and causing a conflicting sea. N.E. wunds then prevailed for three days, succeded by favourable breezes and the North Cape was rounded on the 25th of March, only 91 days from the Downs. Since then strong N.E. and S.E. winds have prevailed with incessant rain. No vessel connected with the colonies were spoken during the voyage. There was one birth, one marriage, and three deaths (infants) during the passage. The subjoined is a list of passengers' names.
