Offer:Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

[crystal blue]

Hi Dave

Is there any chance that you could look up a Thomas Macklin (1881 - 1938) to see if he is on the list of Mersey pilots??

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Crystal

Hi,

I 'm trying to find some info on great,great ,great Grandpa Joseph Bennett.  Born about 1803.  Was a liverpool pilots from about  1825.  Unfortunaly that all the info I have at this time

Thanks

This looks to be BENNETT J (ii) in Youde - licensed 1823, died 1857.

The 1851 Census has:-

HO 107/2189 folio 256 page 9
45 Prince Edwin Street, Everton
Joseph BENNETT, 50, pilot, LAN Liverpool
Ann, wife, 47, LAN Liverpool
John, son, U, 21, fisherman, LAN Liverpool
Alice, daur, 19, at home, LAN Liverpool
Joseph, son, 17, sailmaker apprentice, LAN Liverpool
Martha Ann, daur, 16, envelope maker, LAN Liverpool
Margaret, daur, 15,LAN Liverpool
Thomas, son, 11, LAN Liverpool
William, son, 9, LAN Liverpool
 
In the 1841 Census eldest son John is listed as John G, suggesting that this might be his baptism on the IGI :-

17 August 1829
Liverpool St Peter
John Green BENNETT
Parents Joseph BENNETT and Ann

The IGI also has this baptism:-

7 October 1801
Liverpool St Nicholas
Joseph BENNETT
Parents Thomas BENNETT and Martha WILLIAMS

And this one :-

19 August 1799
Liverpool St Nicholas
Thomas BENNETT
Parents Thomas BENNETT and Martha GREEN

And this marriage :-

2 September 1795
Liverpool St Peter 
Thomas BENNETT and Martha GREEN

Wonder if the 1801 baptism entry for Joseph is erroneous - mother's maiden name should read GREEN, not WILLIAMS?

Hi
James Walker was a Liverpool Pilot from 1813 until his death in 1837.
There is no mention of any Enslow's.
As far as Mariners and Sailors are concerned the research is far more complex.
A visit to the National Archives at Kew, London appears to be the only way to progress, unless you are willing to employ a researcher on your behalf.
If you visit www.mariners-l.co.uk that explains the process for researching Merchant Seamen from 1835, when records began.
I have been down this road recently and you can view my results under 'occupation' on this site entitled 'Voyage Records - NA - Is this correct?'
Hope this is of some help
Regards
Dave

Could you help me with more information on Samuel Howson Jones?  According to the 1851 to 1891 census returns he was a Master Pilot/Retired Master Pilot.  He was born in Amlwch, Anglesey; according to the census records in 1816 but I believe the exact date was 30 September 1815.  He moved to Liverpool after 1841.  He died in Liverpool between July and September 1900. He was not always known as Samuel Howson Jones.  The 'Howson' appears on some records and not on others.  As far as I can tell he first uses it in the 1881 census
Thanks
Edward
