Hi, I am Ron Manuel, living in Gloucestershire, UK, and have been looking for ancestors in Newfoundland. Specifically, my great great grandfather, William Manuel, was master of a vessel that plied between Poole and Newfoundland, either in the fishing industry or the timber industry. I do know that one of his sons was born in Newfoundland, but registered as a British Subject, so it seems as if the baby was born on a British vessel but within Canadian territorial waters. Would I be correct in that assuption?
Any pointers, ideas, information, etc., would be appreciated.
