Records covering 1835-1857 coming at a later stage. (Unfortunately there aren't many surviving records covering the period in between, apart from crew lists and records of masters and mates.)

I wish they began 4 years earlier!

Nabbed a great uncle!

Also found two records for the same man, where the clerk has noted on the later one that the sailor has knocked four years off his age!

I've found a couple of distant relatives - but with photos!!

*jealous*

Couple of classy looking geezers they are too, Gwynne ;)
