John Davison-Monkseaton Mariner 1780's
« on: Saturday 11 March 17 12:39 GMT (UK) »
Where can I find any information regarding   JOHN DAVISON Monkseaton Mariner listed as such on his dau baptism  ANN  1783 Christ Church Tynemouth and his son's death record  JOHN died 1771

I know records are kept in local Records Offices from the mid 1800's. In the programme--WDYTYA
With Cheryl featuring  ( -admittedly ) a MASTER MARINER they went to a building overlooking North Shields, to look into this fact. Was it just for the view or are records held there?
I would expect he sailed out of North Shields as I doubt there would be anything relevant at Monkseaton.
I cannot find a marriage for him in the Bishop's Transcripts, I am having difficulty reading them.
Any help would be gratefully received.
BigOoms.

Thank you for your interest  Radcliff
The surname  is   ORNSBY  a very unusual one.
I think you are correct in your assumption. I have now found an Eleanor born to JOHN DAVISON
Baptised    18th April 1779
The only other ORNSBY is a  WILLIAM listed as a MASTER MARINER, probably her brother.
Maybe I can find out about Mariners through him.
If he studied for a ticket, as they call it, then maybe there are records somewhere.
Anyone any ideas?

Although I've not used it myself I have seen on here that North Shields library has an excellent local history department.  Perhaps contact with them might be useful too

Thank you c-side for the recommendation re North Shields library (now called. North Shields Customer First Centre)
i had a very prompt  reply from them stating they hold records of Master mariners and shipping  from 1786. From  Newcastle Custom House, Shields Custom House ( 1848 ) and Sunderland Custom House Records.
Also a Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships. Useful for tracing  local ships, captains,  masters and owners.
Maybe this will be useful to others.
Thank you both for your interest. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
