Portsea/Portsmouth/ Isle of Wight/Hampshire Navy Records 1750 to 1800
« on: Saturday 01 July 17 05:14 BST (UK) »
Hi.  I'm looking for the Naval records of William Scott born between 1737 and 1747 in the Portsea/Portsmouth/Isle of Wight/Hampshire or Devon areas.  We know that he had a maritime background.  Also looking for William's father-in-law, the Reverend James Mathews who we suspect was either a Chaplain on a ship or posted somewhere in the above places.  James Mathews' daughter married William in 1763 'Devon'.  We believe that William also served in the Navy alongside a 'servant' William Powell (no dates for him I'm afraid).  Does anyone know where I can find Navy records for this period of time?  Many thanks.  Rap

William Scott and Elizabeth Matthews married by Licence at St Andrew, Plymouth (both of the parish) 16 Sept 1763.  Have you located the Licence  :-\

Thank you Rosie99.  Yes, we have the certificate and is the case with many of these, it offers very little other information.  Thanks for your help! Cheers.  Rap

Presumably this is the man referred to in ADM/106/1183/192 and ADM/106//1183/193 and a number of other records which describe him as Carpenter to the Queen or Carpenter of the Crown Storeship?

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thanks MaxD.  Yes, we have found these records in the National Archives, and we feel that this is him, however, we are trying to find a little more information for him such as place of birth and parent's names. We were hoping to find enlistment details, but I am beginning to feel that these just don't exist.  Thank you for all of your help.  Cheers. Rap.
