Naval Pensioner
« on: Monday 10 March 08 17:31 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone out there suggest how I might be able to find out more about a Gr x? Grandfather born abt 1770/1780's and listed in the 1840 census in Rosemarket, Pembrokeshire as a naval pensioner.  Would there be Naval records? or any other records of any kind apart from the census? where would these be kept?

Any help would be great!

Regards, Buckaroo

There are records in The National Archives at Kew, but you'll either have to go there or get a researcher to do it for you. The pension records for the period you are interested in can be in a number of different places, as you can see from the Research Guide

Hi Buckaroo !

Have you tried running his name through the online records at The National Archives ?

The Register of Seamen's Services might have his record which is downloadable for a small charge via this link

Thank you both...

There seems to be plenty to go with, hopefully onward and backward!! (if that makes any sense).

Thanks again,

Whoo-hoo!  ;D

found a great entry from 23rd March 1844 Cambrian Newspaper (index available online)

looks like gr.grandad had some exitement way back when...

Does anyone know how to find out more about his time in the Navy, especially anything to do with the explosion! or does anyone have access to any records?
