Hi, thank you for replying.

It is a large tomb dedicated to him. Anthony is from Newcastle upon Tyne and there were no other family members on Anglesey. I have no more information other that that found online. The present Belt family know of him but had no idea where he was buried

Anglesey Lookup Requests / Anthony Belt died in Royal Charter disaster
« on: Thursday 05 September 13 18:06 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the family of Anthony Belt who died in the shipwreck of the Royal Charter off the coast of Dulas, Anglesey North Wales,

Anthony has a tomb in the churchyard of St Miahangel, Llanerchymedd, Anglesey. However his burial record shows him buried at Penrhoslligwy, Anglesey, about 5 miles away, which is where many of the unidentified bodies were buried.

Can anyone help me to find out what might have happened

The document was sent to me by Gaie on RootsChat in April this year. It was a topic I started and both you and Gaie helped me. Maybe you can see it there. The Topic was Master Mariner.

According to the List of Testimonials and Statements of Service I received from the Maritime Museum with William Richardsons certificates, the Alpha was registered in Whitby. William served on the ship as an apprentice from Jan 1843 to Jan 1849.

The document that lists the port numbers was sent to me but I have just tried to attach it to a post and I had a message saying it was too big to send. The form has a box on the side, rather like a census return with BT 113/44. The journeys covered are from 1845 to 1848. Port numbers in each year include 238 (which is included in a batch of numbers where the port names are missing) and 104 which I believe is Whitby. William is listed on the form under number 87070, his Master Mariners certificate is C6595 and it was issued in Sunderland. Hope this information helps.

As a result of a previous post I have information on the various ships a person I am researching sailed on. As an apprentice he sailed with The Alpha, (registered in Whitby?) for 6 years from 1843 to 1849. During that time a ship called The Alpha sailed to Tasmania and I have found some information from newspapers etc giving dates etc of arrival at ports between 1843 and 1849. However other information I have showing what I believe to be Port numbers does not tie up with the fact that the Alpha was in Australia during those years.

As you can tell I am not used to deciphering mariners information. How can I determine whether the The Alpha that sailed to Australia was in fact the one William Richardson was travelling on.

Can anyone help me please

Thank you so much Gaie and Seaweed.  I have now succeeded in tracing 10 pages of William's master mariners certificate. Any advice about the best format to recieve them in. As one of the offers is A3 sheets by post I wonder if that is the size of the original copies?

Thank you. I have had a quick look for 1866 but the mother's name is not given and they only record January. No records online after 1869.
