Thanks very much Mutley,
I had looked at it, but it wasn’t what I looking for,
I have down loaded some coastguard records from "National Archives Documents On line"
There are parts I do not understand they are: abbreviations used for “Ships books list no. Rating, &c, G C badges, & remarks”.
Thanks AnnE

Ann, I have some record details, as my husbands gt. grandfather was a Coastguard and I have his records. I may not be able to answer all of your questions, but if you would like to email me, I may be able to help with some of the abbreviations.
