  1. I have seen a portrait of a Lasbury sailor online at a BBC website. It is showing the painting is at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Is this a member of your family?

    Thanks for your comment. I believe the painting to be of Joseph Sheppard Lasbury (1829 – 1912) so the painting would have been painted a little earlier than that suggested on the website. In 1861 the census shows him as a private in the Royal Navy and the 1901 census shows him as a Naval Pensioner. The title of the painting is “J. Lasbury, RMLI” and I think this means “Royal Marine Light Infantry” so this would fit with his description of being a private in the navy. I have contacted the BBC through their website suggesting the identity of the person in the painting.
