Vessel Search 1861, 71, 81. William Law Adamson (1845-1905) born Liverpool-Help!

Hello,

I am looking for an ancestor who was a mariner by profession. I wonder if it is possible to find him if he was away at sea during the taking of any census. Does any one know?

I have found him in the 1891 census on land and also in 1901 on land. Other census searches have proved fruitless and so i presume he is at sea in the following years 1861, 1871, 1881.

The person I am looking for is

William Law Adamson
Born 1845 died 1905
In Liverpool Lancashire UK

Many thanks,
Samuel Adamson
