If you go here, which is a link on this forum, you might be able to get further information, as the records are at the National Archives.

Hi Fountainpen,
Glenys is right, if your chap has a service record it’s likely to be held at the Archives
Just go to ‘Documentsonline’ and click on Navy
You will see on the right a heading Registers of Seamen’s Services.
Click on search and enter your chaps details
If he’s there you can download his record for £3.50 (The Coastguard was under the control of the Admiralty during the times you refer to hence the search under Navy)
Another resource is the Coastguards of yesteryear site (just Google it) They’re a friendly bunch and although their expertise is Coastguards on the Irish coast they have a wealth of information and advice.
You may have already checked this out but, have you looked on the Genuki site?
I see there’s a lot of information on Flamborough Station
Good Luck

A section of Documentsonline called 'digital microfilm' has coastguard records available to download. The records are not indexed so you have to work through them, the (pdf) file sizes are often very large, so you do need good broadband connection - but - the records are free.

There's also the list of Coastguard personnel through the census on Genuki as collected by Stan Waight and friends. It lists the personnel and more importantly, their locations, from 1841 onwards. This will help locating your chap in the free downloads Geoffers has linked too as they moved the personnel around the country frequently.

Hi Fountainpen,
If he was born 21st Dec 1849 at Aldborough Yorks then his service record is available for download at The National Archives
