But coming back to your previous thread, if he was in the Royal Navy and you get the record it will tell youthe ships he served on and the periods - you might be able to take it from there -don't know if the Merchant Navy records would tell you the same though |

I have mariners that aren't at home on census night and it is so infuriating as sometimes you get a brief glimpse of them never to be seen again!!! |

Yes that makes sense Carole, looking like it's explaining why I can't find him. Lin |

Lin I think the ship had to be in a British port on census night to be included Carole |

If a relative was a mariner/seaman, Naval or merchant, would there be no way of including them on a census? And would it be necessary to look for his family elsewhere say, for wherever the family were based? Once that info is discovered. See my other thread...........This relative cannot be found after 1851............ Lin |
