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 https://cotyroneireland.com/tithe/newtownstewart.html

Tyrone 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.)

HOOD, of Newtownstewart, left home for Glasgow, on Thursday morning, the 26th ult., and sailed per the “St. Columb” (from Londonderry); transacted business in Glasgow, and having returned by the “Foyle”, reached home on Saturday at 7 o’clock, PM. This journey would have also have required coach travel between Newtownstewart and Londonderry and presumably the same again in Glasgow. A remarkable event.
