Aged 48 in the 1861 census? That does suggest he was born in 1822/3. I'm sure it's the right man.

As I said the masters and mates certificates are on Ancestry and there is a wealth of detailed information there. You'l need to tab backwards as well as forwards from the linked images to catch it all.

I'll have a look - is it ancestry.co.uk?

Hello
Never noticed this post before, would anyone have any info on David Hopley of Liverpool.
He gives his profession as warehouseman in 1845 on marriage cert but is a pilot according to his son on his marriage many years later.

Hi, a punt in the dark as I can see this thread started a loooong time ago! My father George illiams, born 1905, is down on various family docs as a Ships Pilot, and that's always my memory of him. Maritime have no trace, wondered if anything on here? His father, David Williams born around 1854 may also have been a Liverpool pilot, master mariner. Any help or information appreciated

Thanks

If he was born 1905 he won't have been on any published census as a ship's pilot. Is he the George Williams at 59 Bailey Drive, Bootle in the 1939 Register? In the the 1938 Directory he's listed as a boatman.

Thanks ShaunJ - yep that's him (Williams!) working on the basis he will have become a pilot at some stage (unless that was just something he told the kids!), I've a very very dim memory of him taking me and my mum in what I'm guessing would have been the early 1970s on a tugboat, his father David Williams (1854-1954) looks to have been a mariner and mersey boatman for many years, possibly a pilot at some point as well
