Masters and Mates Certificates Search

[Titanicfan]

Hi all

I have just discovered that one of my ancestors was a retired Master Mariner according to the 1901 census in the UK:

Frederick C. Wale b. 1829 Plymouth, Devon.

Could anyone locate the UK and Ireland, Masters and Mates Certificate details on Ancestry for me please?


Thank you.

Hi Christina, Thank you so much for the two certificate details. Does Ancestry hold just the transcriptions of the certificates or do they include an actual image of the certificates?
