So that makes you a Ten Pound Pom, Gordon?
There are three possibilities which Mr Hood travelled to Glasgow on business;
Andrew, Nathaniel & Samuel all listed as shopkeepers in the Householders in
Newtownstewart, Co. Tyrone 1833-4

Quite a feat. In similar vein: when we sailed to Oz in 1948 it took 4
weeks. Recently a friend mentioned a cruise from here to Southampton
which took 7 weeks! (Mind you, the cruise ship went via the Cape of Good
Hope and not the Suez Canal as we did.)
