I have an ancestor on hms Bristol, in Funchal Bay, Madeira, on census night 1871so it seems that in some cases ships at sea were counted on the census. Can't find him in 1861 though on land or sea, Lynne |

Lin, wouldnt have thought so. They would likely learn on the job. The training ships were for Royal Navy men. |
