Trying to help my Brother In Law who has done quite a lot of research regarding his G.G.Grandfather, but has hit a bit of a brick wall He has the Passenger List but it only gives name and no other info.
Is there a list of Church of England Missionary's that went out to Sierra Leone in 1900?
Looking for: Charles Henry Hookway born 18th Nov 1859 Crediton Devon
Departed England via Liverpool on 9th Aug 1900 Sailed on S.S.Sobo - bound for Sierra Leone
If you would like to have your ancestors photo's included in our Gallery, please send me a pm.
Researching: Evans, Rollason, Henley/Hendley, Brookes, Taylor (Wilson - Birmingham)
If he was a Church of England Missionary there's a fair chance that he went with the Church Mission Society (CMS), who have been in Sierra Leone since the early 19th century. They have archives at
CMS Watlington Road OXFORD OX4 6BZ
which include lists of missionaries serving with CMS going back 200 years.
