Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	Hi, In 1851 Census, my William Noons occupation was also marked as "Greenwich Pensioner". I was therefore wondering if there were further details out there somewhere - and if so where? I know that this was connected to Royal Greenwich Hospital and that the Hospital was for the "relief and support of Seamen" but apart from that i'm unsure if there are records. Thanks, Karen
