You know the sailor but not the ship?

[Gules]

I’ve been transcribing the registers listing sailors, and ship serving on, who sent part of their pay home, 1795 Navy Act, – in many cases this was to relatives – mother, wife sister etc.

Whilst this is an ongoing project I’ve over 5000 names, so if you are missing someone let me know and I’ll check my lists.

[Frank W]

Do you perhaps have Edward Randall PASCOE, who served as Master's Mate on HMS Naiad in 1805 ?.....He was at one time a midshipman, and got his Master's rating in 1808
Regards....Frank W

[Gules]

Sorry nothing as yet ...but I'll bear the name in mind.

[cliverob]

Hi

Would you have a "Berry", "Barry", "Geehan", "Gahan", or "Gehan" among your names?

Thank you for taking the time to check.

Would you have Andrew MARTIN believed to have been at sea during the Napoleonic Wars? Many thanks

[Gules]

Sorry - Have several by the name of Martin but no Andrew as yet.

[Di&Trev]

This is probably a silly question but is this only Royal Navy or does it cover Merchant Navy as well?
Just in case if you come across a John Talbot Barker............... :)

[Gules]

Royal Navy only - merchant sailors much more difficult to trace at this period - unless they were part of the crew of a letter of marque or privateer.

[Henry14]

Do you have any Dodds crew members? I believe he was a gunner, possibly at the Battle of the Nile, and couldnt take part in the Battle of Trafalgar due to deafness from cannon fire.

[Gules]

Only one so far:

[idredge]

Hi Gules

If and when you get to 1806 could you see if you have a Robert Sim(p)kins he was from Walcot Bath a Mason aged 16 and was in Plymouth 1806. I don't have the name of a Ship only that I have found records of him at Kew but there is no other information as yet. He married in 1817 in Bath, I don't know how long they would have servered in the Navy/Army.

Have you any ideas other than looking through for his discharge papers.

Irene

[pejay]

[hancorn]

Do you have a John Smith who was boatswain on HMS Naiad. His wife was Rebecca (nee Hancorn).

Thanks,

Ros Dunnico.

[Henry14]

Do you know of a ship named HMS Cederic or something similar at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. I am looking for one John Noble who married Harriet Dodds
in Portsmouth 1805.

[helenmsim]

Do you have George Barnard on the list? He was on the Ardent, Jalouse, Trompeuse, and Helena between 1797 and 1805.
thanx
Helen

[Jillychris]

Would you see if you have a John Warry/Warey/Warrey or spelt anyway like that.

Thank you very much

[elldrick]

Do you have a Thomas Mantor Master R.N on your list. I don't have the name of a ship I'm afraid.

Thank you

Thanks Eric B

[silicondale]

Hi, Gules. I am trying to find out about two brothers, both with distinctive names. One was certainly in the Navy, the other just very probably. First: Augustus Dalby, born 1779in Howden, east Yorkshire, who was promoted to Master on 26/02/1801 (noted in his 1851 obituary that he was one of the youngest Masters ever in the RN). He retired to Saltash, Cornwall where he married in 1812 though may have continued to serve in the Navy until the 1830s.

His brother, Octavius Dalby, born 1784, also left Yorkshire and turns up next in London where he married in 1809 at St.Dunstan's, Stepney.

Either or both may also have served alongside Jasper Boniston (who later became a shipowner in Selby, Yorkshire).

Any help would be appreciated !

[haylierose]

Do you have a captian robert broardfoot with possible links to the "falls of gary"
or a godharz rose

[agness]

Have you spotted a William Granville Lobb in your records?
Thanks Agness.

[Mutley]

The member 'Gules' who posted the look up offer on this forum has not answered requests on this thread since 27-11-2004.

Please do not be disappointed if he does not reply.

[agness]

Thanks for the concern, Mutley,

Is there a chance you might have a George THORNBER listed in your records. I have him on the 'Iron Duke' in the late 1800's, and other census records as a naval person into 1901, but I am curious to see if his name appears in your files. He was born 1861 in Golborne, Lancashire.
Kind regards

[peter nicholl]

Hi Mike
Several points; Mutley's post yesterday pointed out that the original offer may not still be open.
Also, the original offer was for the period around 1795-1810 you may be better off looking in the UK National Archives, Documents on Line at Seamen's Records. You don't say whether or not he was an Officer. If he was a Commissioned Officer he should appear in the Navy List.
Peter

[peter nicholl]

Hi Mike
If your George Thornber (98582) was born around 1860 in Golborne, Lancashire, then his Service Records are available from TNA Documents on Line at a one off cost of £3.50 Sterling.

[Toronto]

Hello Peter,

Have you any records of a mariner Robert Broadfoot, born Scotland abt 1835, sailed on Sailing ships. Came to the pacific routes when steamships began to run in the Altantic routes. Ship he said he sailed for the falls line on the Falls of Garry, (niminva?) appeared in london census 1881

[tribi]

Hi
I wonder if you can help me please ?
I have photocopy of a letter sent to one of my ancestors, which begins.........Capt ? (looks like 3) DUDLEY PELHAM of Her Majestys Ship "Ginger Blue ". So far I have been unable to trace this man on any census, nor the name of the ship. The letter was written on headed paper with a picture of St. Marys Church Scarborough published by S W Theakston who I believe worked between 1840-60. Dudley refers to the church as "ours ".

Hello -

Could you add John Lupton to your list of look-fors? In 1798 he claimed to be a shipwright, but may have gone to sea. He may have died between September 1800 and August 1803.

Thank you for this tremendous effort.

Regards and admiration,
