Earlier today Valley was able to find details of an ancester from Trinity House Petitions.
This says "Hurdman Ann, aged 51, wife of Jacob, prisoner of war at Longwy, of Sunderland 1812"
Longwy although sounds Welsh is infact in France, and miles inland.
Would he have been captured whilst at sea and taken inland or do you think that he would have been fighting on land ?
I think that this could have been during the Penninsular Wars ?
He seems that he made it back home because he made another application to Trinity House in 1820.
Any ideas what to do next ?
