Hi I am researching an ancestor Duncan McInnes/McInnis/McInnish, born in Scotland but served with The coastguard in England. He is listed in 1841 census at Birling Gap with his family, and may have also served in Sholden,Kent as he has a daughter born there in 1833. He had children born in Sussex in 1837 and 1841 at least. He returned to Scotland at some point and died of a fever in Newhaven in May 1848. I have searched on the Genuki coastguards site but he isn't listed there. I would like to know where he was born and date of birth if possible and any further information there is or how to find it. I have had a look at the TNA stuff on Line but not sure where to start to find details on personnel.
On his death record he is called up as a seaman (C.G.S) which I assume is also coast guard service.
Any pointers gratefully received, I am in New Zealand so searching archives difficult.
