Looking for information about Daisy Connor who lived in Blackheath around 1922. She was an active member of Blackheath Dramatic Club, and in 1925 she married Royston Engleheart Knight of 16 St John's Park, Blackheath and son of Charles Joseph Knight.

Capt John Hall
(May 08
Red)
Seek any & all information regarding above. Birth, marriage, death, decendents. In 1821/26 was captain of "Lady Blackwood" of Calcutta engaged in trade India/Mexico/Chile. In 1838 was living (perhaps retired) at Home Cottage (perhaps #18 Blackheath Park in BH). In 1821/22 sailed "Lady Blackwood" jury rigged from Phillipine Islands to Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) to coast of northern California where the Russian American Fur Company had a station and made sufficient repairs for her to proceed to Mexico. That's a journey of 6,000/10,000 miles without masts or rigging!!! Am writing historical paper on the ship and Capt Hall. Interested in his burial place (wish to visit). I have no middle initial and simply nothing about him other than extract of ship's log whilst in California June / July 1822. The log appears as an Appendix to "History of Upper & Lower California" by Alexander Forbes published London, 1839. ANY info greatly appreciated. I engaged a London genealogist with little to no result.
