More information. Thomas Bees, born 1831 became a mariner, his seaman's ticket in 1857 indicates he was 5 feet tall with hazel eyes and dark complexion.Quite short for a 16 year old. My great grandmother Louisa Bees (daughter of Thomas) is remembered as being very small and looking like a Spanish lady, very dark complexion and black hair.The dark colouring persists in her descendants.
