Another Connection to the Penlee Lifeboat
I trust everybody had a pleasant Christmas - New Year break.
An email from Richard Beamish this morning.
" .... looking at the Drew Blog, I see you have about the Penlee Lifeboat.

Nigel Brockman's mother-in-law was a Drew which means that Neil Brockman, the now Coxswain of the new Penlee Lifeboat, is a Drew descendant.
Neil was the man that the coxswain refused to take with them that night
All the best

Richard and I have already shared family history information as we are both descended from the Johns and Rouffignac families of Newlyn. My maternal great-great-grandmother, Catherine Johns was a sister of Richard's great-grandmother Margaret Rouffignac Johns who married William Boase of Newlyn. Both Catherine Johns and Margaret Rouffignac Johns were daughters of Joseph Johns and Elizabeth James Rouffignac.
