Hello Janet,

I couldn’t find any information about the Breeze. She doesn’t appear in the Mercantile Navy List, although some issues are missing. She’s also not in Lloyd’s Register, probably because of her size. http://www.maritimearchives.co.uk/lloyds-register.html

You can read all about Sloops from page 149 in “Man on the Ocean”, published 1863. http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Vl4 ... J&pg=PA150

All the best,
Alan

Can you tell me where you got the 1871 census from?

It's [as the name suggests] a free census database, not the original images as on Scotland's People, but transcribed by humans so although there are some errors they are nothing like the mistakes found on other sources.

It's not complete by any means yet, but it's invaluable. I actually found her by searching in 1871 for all Janet's in Caithness born around 1854. Bingo there she was!
