Where do I look for.....

Hi

Need some help please anyone know where do I look for fishermen and fishing boats. (please don't say the sea lol)

1861 census has John Moss b1821 Barking Essex as Master of the Vessel "Leander" in the North Sea on the night of the Census.

I also have others that I am looking for
"Tally Ho" 1871 Census
"Angeline" 1881 Census

Thanks
Sandy

I have done a lot of research on Marshside fishermen and their boats and found the local museum had lots of useful stuff. Minutes of the Fishermen's Meetings, names of boats/owners, insurance details, etc. Try your local museum (if there is one), if not your local reference library might be able to help; after that there's always the County Record Office, not sure if Lloyd's Register is available online! Hope this helps:)
