Charles William Davis Mariner.
« on: Thursday 22 April 10 14:45 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am looking on for any information on Charles William Davis (my g grandfather) born 1832 Camberwell, died sometime in the 1890's.  He married Rosina Cole in 1864 in Bristol, On The  marriage Certificate it states he was a mariner. Is there anyway I could find out which ship/s he worked on? The next Census in 1871 states he was working as a clerk in Rosina's families Pottery in Bristol. I can't find him in the 1851 or 1861 Census at all. His father John (wine merchant) died in 1842., and I have not been able to trace the other members of the family since the 1841 Census when they were living in Newington, Surrey. What age would a lad be able to go to sea in those days? Thanks everyone, Sara.
