Hi Everyone Charles Barnett was born onboard HMS Appollo in 1805. The ship was built on the Hamble at Bursledon 1803 and was fitted out in Portsmouth 1805. Charles`s parents are James Barnett and Ann Faichen who were married in Portsea 1801.
Could anyone give me more details such as Bapitism date, any other details on the circumstances of why birth was onboard the Appollo.
Samuel Faichen was Ann`s Father and occupation was "yeoman bondsman" explanation please ?
Thanking everyone in advance

James was a shipwright, according to the marriage allegation, from Deptford. I suspect that he was part of the fitting out team for HMS Apollo.
James and Ann married by licence at a time when a bond was required as surety that there was no impediment to the marriage taking place. Samuel would appear to have provided that bond - hence bondsman on the allegation. His occupation was simply yeoman - definition given here:
