Occupation Interests / Ships steward 1840's
« on: Tuesday 14 March 06 16:36 GMT (UK) »
If anyone can give me any advice I would be very happy!!
I have an Edward Sheldrick who on his sons marriage cert was a ships steward.
He appears to have died prior to 1861. No sign of him in 1851 or 1841(as yet)
I have nothing apart from his marriage cert. If I have toe correct person he was born around 1802 and a ships ticket found for me has some voyages in the mid 1840's although I can't decipher what the entries mean, so any help on that would be great.
It says he served 2 years in the Royal Navy but those records aren't online as they are too early.
The only death I found (1858)wasn't him.
So I really would like to get some knowledge on his time at sea,
Any help would be wonderful.
Many thanks
Diane
