The Register of Apprentices’ Indentures show Morgan Anthony Swidenbank commenced his apprenticeship on 10 March 1890, at the age of 17, bound to Ismay Imrie & Co., for 4 years. He joined the four masted iron barque Gilcruix, (2304 GRT) one of the ships owned by Ismay, Imrie and Company of the Liverpool White Star Line.
Unfortunately, the records named below, have not been digitised and as I live in south Wales, I wondered if someone living near to the National Archives, Kew, would be prepared to check the following and copy or photograph any pages with the name of Morgan Swidenbank from March 1890.
Registry of Shipping and Seamen: Agreements and Crew Lists
GILCRUIX. Official No: 93695
Reference: BT 100/98B
Date: 1886 – 1895
Legal status: Public Record(s)
I would appreciate any help

In case no one is visiting have you asked for a quote

Probably not a good idea as I think you would probably need a bank loan to do that, I had forgotten that they had changed their system.

Hi Rosie
I have checked their website and as you mentioned 'not a good idea' their costs per page is way out of reach. For years I have used a gentleman from Bristol who was a regular visitor at Kew and charged just 10p a page which was very reasonable. Unfortunately, he is no longer available.
