I am looking for any information about the family of Alfred Alexander HACKETT. He was born on or about 18 May 1819 in Montrose Scotland. I have documents stating:
"Capt. Alfred A. Hackett was born in Montrose, Scotland, where he served his apprenticeship as a ship-builder and carpenter. He afterwards went to sea where he became first mate on a bark trading with Australia and New Zealand. Following his calling for years he was a length wrecked on the Atlantic coast and was rescued on the coast of New Brunswick near Saint John Canada."
I am looking for any information on where he may have apprenticed, or who he sailed for, to who his parents might have been, or if he had any siblings.
For anyone researching his family, I can provide information on his activities and decendants.
Thanks.
