Hi,
I have just come across a new ancestor through my family research.

My granddad's cousin Margaret Jane Wood "Park" married William Mair "Shanker" in 1901

I have discovered that he was one of the crew (along with his brother) who all lost their lives when the Zulu fishing boat Evangeline BF 1952 was lost during a storm off Stornay in January 17th 1905.

Does anyone have any details or photo's about this boat and the sad story ?

Cheers, Carole.

Re-searching: Gifford, Grant, McHattie, Wood "park" , Mair "Shanker", Geddes, from Buckie, Portgordon, Fordyce and Portknockie, Banffshire.
McDonalds from Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.

Hi Carole,
I am the great grand-daughter of William Mair Shanker.The only book I could find is available through Buckie Heritage by John Crawford it does have a photo of the crew on the cover but as far as I am aware only 2 members are identified, it costs £4.50 +p+p I found it very moving and interesting,
regards Caroline
