I'd wondered why one of my twigs ended up in the North East when he was born in Norfolk. Found his naval records on the internet - the Royal Navy - and it gave me the coastguard details. I expect you've already tried this, but just in case ... Jill |

Hi Jill I have had quite a lot of info right from his days in the navy,through his appointment to the coastguard service,and followed the census returns and birth certs for various children throughout his life. All my contributors of photographs.Kew and FRC look ups seem to be heading for this thread,George seems to have an attraction even now (lucky b**ger). Just that four years from 1839 to 1843 to look at more closely. Glen |

All the nice girls like a sailor, Glen! I know that my many ag lab ancestors may have led just as interesting lives, but I don't know their heights, hair colour, if they had tattooes, whether they smoked, exactly where they were on any given day and what the weather was like. What their diet might have been. When they had to scrub their hammocks, or rush up and down theship from one end to another to prevent it from sinking.... One shouldn't have favourites, but I do have a soft spot for all my sailors. |
