Since writing this book in 2011 my continued research has revealed further important facts.
- The starting point of the whole journey was not London, as first thought, it was Harwich. Christopher Jones wife Josian was in her 6th month of pregnancy and he took her and the rest of his family on the Mayflower from Redriff, where they were now living to stay with their relatives that still lived in Harwich. After a short stay in Harwich to say their farewells, more Harwich and Essex born men were hired as crew and the Mayflower set sail for Southampton.
- The child born whilst he was in America (a son) was christened on his return, John, after his cousin John Alden who had decided to stay in America and marry Priscilla Mullins, "a lovely young lass of 17 who had been his nurse during a short bout of illness in January 1621 – tending his fever day and night." Having lost her entire family in the severe first winter and him a "very likeable and loving man" they fell in love.
- More evidence, written in 1970, has come to light about the Mayflower being a whaler part of the time during the years directly leading up to the 1620 Pilgrims journey. "In 1611, Jones and the Mayflower relocated to Rotherhithe, which at that time was known to be where whaling ships berthed" furthermore "It is thought that the months when the ship was not seen in the river (Thames) she was hunting whale around Iceland and Newfoundland"
- The Mayflower did indeed call at a Newfoundland port - the tiny fishing village of Renews, Newfoundland. A plaque stands in a field next to the sea "In 1620 the Mayflower stopped here"
