Armed Forces / Duncan Baine
« on: Wednesday 04 July 12 21:51 BST (UK)  »
I believe that Duncan Baine, the father in law to my  5 x gg father Bernard Baine, was a Royal Navy surgeon on HMS Penzance from 1706 to 1709.

Where can I go for further information on Duncan and the vessel?

tks in advance

Hercule or perhaps Mr Poirot, download & install PDF Creator, it is free.

Then when you need to print anything, change the printer to PDFCreator and bingo, a pdf appears.

btw, how is Hastings?

Tks, I have bought the marriage index & it has been a great help, it helped to fill in the disjointed gaps on other information I had.

Quote from: seaweed on Monday 02 July 12 14:45 BST (UK)
The first entry says he sailed on The Cardiff registered vessel EMPIRE official number 33079 to Quebec. Just to reinforce my statement. There were at least six vessels around with that name in 1860.

Can you suggest any websites that can help with further information on the Empire?

tks

Seaweed thanks for this

The Empire needs more research but the Mermaid was a little easier - but it does need validating.

I e-mailed lincstothepast yesterday and received a reply today from

Mike Rogers (Dr)
Collections Access Team Leader (Archives & Remote Access)

"Thank you for your email to Lincs to the Past, and for pointing out this issue.
 
It appears that there are problems with the first few pages of this volume.  The first page is filmed but does not appear online for some reason, and then there are one or more images missing until the first page that shows online.  I have asked my reprographics staff to re-film the beginning of the volume, and when that is completed I will get our IT people to make the images available online.
 
I apologise for any inconvenience while this work is carried out."

Caird Library temporary closure due to Olympics
Royal Museums Greenwich
As you may have seen on the Museum’s website, the Caird Library will close to all visitors from Monday 2 July until Tuesday 4 September 2012 inclusive for the preparation and holding of the Olympics and Paralympics in Greenwich Park.

During this period there will be no access to the Library as the reading room will be in use by LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games). Written and telephone enquiries and the remote reprographics service will also be unavailable from this date.

The last order date for the consultation of offsite items is 12.30 on Thursday 21 June, for consultation on Tuesday 26 June. The last day that the Library will be open is Saturday 30 June.

The Caird Library will reopen to the public at 10.00 on Wednesday 5 September 2012. Written and telephone enquiries and the remote reprographics service will also resume from this time. For full opening times from 5 September, see Visiting the Library.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our users. The Archive & Library staff will be using the closure period to rehouse offsite collections to bring them onsite, and to reorganise stores to make future retrievals more efficient.
