Requesting a Coast Guard Record Lookup at KEW Please
« on: Sunday 10 June 07 03:29 BST (UK) »
Hello

I would appreciate if anyone had time on their visit to Kew, if they thought that it would be possible with the very limited info that I have, if they could please find any information regarding my Great Grandfather who served in the Coast Guard.

The only info that I have is where he was stationed in Ireland in 1876, where he lived in Ireland in 1900.  I received a copy of his death certificate this week, it stated that he was a coast guard pensioner.

If anyone can help I can send the dates of the info that I have.

Regards

Vi

Coastguards of Yesteryear is a terrific site, a lot of very useful info, I have been a regular visitor to the site for some time.  I have also checked the genuki site to no avail.

Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate your help.
