I'm trying to find out any information about my Great-Grandfather Herbert Sealley.
According to family source's he was a Harbour Master at Avonmouth,but i dont know how to find out.
I have heard from a man working at the docks now and he very kindly said he would ask all the older members of the workforce if they remember,but as it was probably between 1900 and 1940's,i dont hold out much hope.
He was awarded the OBE for war service and was also giving the Freedom of New Orleans,once again,i cant find out anything.
He was married to Alice Stuckey and they had 3 kids,Murial,Harold and Vera. I know Vera married Frank Brown of Bristol.(One of the Brown Brother's to do with the ships)
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks
