National Archives
« on: Friday 16 September 16 14:59 BST (UK) »
Hello

Not sure if this is the right place to post this....

I would like to look up a Merchant Seaman's records (3 x great grandfather), and i live to far from the national archives to get there, and the cost they charge for a look up is unreal, and i was just wondering if someone could maybe have a look for me the next time they are there?

I am not sure how easy it is, but just thought i would ask.

Many thanks in advance

I looked up army records online for a gt gt uncle, I found his attestation papers and the Archives posted copies of them to me - cost £ 3.50.
If you would like to give his name  on here maybe someone can come up with something for you.

Hi Larkspur

Many thanks for your quick reply.

His name is Edward Maxwell Copeland/Copland

He was a seaman from about 1849 until his death by drowning in 1871

I think i have found his inital seamans record on find my ppast, although the dates of birth from this records are slightly out from the 1871 census i ahve for him, but i think it may be the correct records... as it matches up with the dates he arrived in glasgow and married my 3 x great grandmother

the record ref is BT113/234

His ticket number is 467877

Many thanks

That record gives him born in Downpatrick in 1833 and says he's resident there when unemployed.

Does that fit in with your chap?

Hi Larkspur

Thats why i was hoping someone may be visiting the national archives soon :(

So fingers cossed one of the chatters may be heading soon.

On all his childrens borth and death certs it states that he is a merchant seaman, then on a poor law record for his orphan son, it states that edward drowned in october 1871, so i am hoping that there are more records for Edward at the naional archives, as there is no death registered for him in england or scotland.

Cheers
