The Common Room / John White and Joanna/Johanna Day
« on: Friday 10 March 17 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
Would be grateful for any help with this brickwall.

John was born in 1774, Ayrshire, Scotland and joined the 51ST Regiment in April 1790 - clearly aged 16.

The 51st was in Ireland at the time and moved around between 1790 and 1805. In 1805 John's first son was born in Ceylon.

I cannot find the marriage between John and his wife Joanna or Johanna Day. I think it must have happened between 1790 and 1805 -  but where?

John Joanna and family returned to Scotland in 1818. Joanna died in 1820 - no burial record found.

Anh help appreciated.

Occupation Interests / Ships steward
« on: Friday 03 March 17 14:21 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor served as a ships steward in the 1840s and 50s. What exactly did a ships steward do?

Was he an ordinary member of the crew or an officer?

thanks
