Additional information:
Captain John Jenkins, who lists captaincy of Betsey of Youghal 1837 – 9 in coastal trade, is consistent with Captain J Jenkins in Lloyd’s. BT112 documents a strong Youghal crew connection on this vessel. Seamen Callaghan McCarthy (b.1818, Youghal; Cert: 2218 and Cert: 2300) are probably either related or the same person (see Crew List 5). #UK Nat Arch BT112; Lloyd’s; UK M&M; Sutton Family History.
