1. [Mar] GORRY James, PRATT Dougal Turner, DOUBLE Charles Henry [1]
I have received a couple of items of information which could do with validation. 1. James Gorry was Master of a Liverpool to Isle of Man Steam Packet ship about the turn of the century. 2. Dougal Turner Pratt was a fireman on board the first steam ship to sail up the west coast to Scotland. He was born about 1836 in Leith Scotland. 3. Charles Henry Double was Harbour Master at Penzance at some time around the turn of the century. Any and all help gratefully received.
2. Re: [Mar] Thomas Stephen - Master Mariner [1]
Hello, A Thomas STEPHEN of the right age is listed on the 1881 Census. He was living at 1 Kinrades Court, Maughold, Isle of Man (Maughold is very close to Ramsey). His age is given as 30, and his birthplace as Isle of Man. He was working as a fisherman. With him on census night were his wife Annie (age 26, born "England"), his son Thomas (age 1, born Isle of Man) and daughter Ruth (age given as 3, but I wonder if this should be 3 months, or even 3 weeks or 3 days, as she appears below her brother, and

6. [Mar] Muster Rolls - Whitby 1835 - 1850 [1]
I am tracing my grgrandfathers merchant navy service which started in 1845 from Whitby. The Register of Seamens Tickets gave his No, personal details, and some reported voyages in code. The ship number is 380. and I'm trying to find the name of his ship. I need some advice iro PRO BT98/137 which covers the Muster Rolls for Whitby 1835 - 1850. When I looked-up the film held by the LDS IGI they had it on 4 films, but had no info iro what format the films were in. Later films in the BT98 series, eg BT/819 W

I have just come across the THIRD - unconnected - sailor to have married into my Bristol family/ In fact these are the ONLY marriages I have found around 1900 so it seems quite odd. Obviously Bristol is a port so sailors would be around but was there any particular reason why Scottish sailors should be in abundance, please? Iris

Joe The two Denny-built vessels not covered by Ted Finch in his reply were as follows: VENUS One of three sisters built by Denny in 1868 for Austrian Lloyd (the other two were VESTA and URANO). VENUS was compounded in the 1870s and eventually sold for breaking up in 1908. VENETIA Launched by Denny for P & O on 10/12/1872 and registered on 19/2/1873. Used on a variety of P & O services, she survived a stranding at Kobe in March 1886 and was sold for demolition at Bombay in September 1893. Regards

15. [Mar] Lloyds Registers 1869 [1]
Hello, I was wondering would anyone have any access to an 1869 edition of Lloyds Captains Register, I belive it indicates an entry for a Robert Wilkinson. My Great Great Grandfather lived in Sunderland for around 15 years between 1860 to 1875. Also his sister and her husband Thomas Lineham, and a brother in law, Henry Pulling, all where listed as Mariners. All the men where absent from the 1871 census, and I belive would have been together on a ship. There are records in Southampton of his Ships but woul

17. Re: [Mar] Navy List 1890 [1]
Hi Sue In which case you've saved yourself some money, as like me, you wouldn't have found him - the Navy List and Royal Navy List etc only include officers. There is a William H Grant, but he was an Engineer. You really need to find his service record if you want to know what a naval rating got up to ! Para 3 of the following PRO leaflet is probably your best starting point. http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk/ExternalRequest.asp?RequestReference=ri2031 In view of where you live you should be aware that the P

Herewith a report of the event from the Naval Chronicle, as an extract from a letter from a midshipman to a friend, dated Yarmouth, March 18, followed by a report, presumably from naval sources: "Only two days have elapsed since I last wrote to you , and in that short space the most melancholy accident has happened, namely the total loss of our ship.
