Offer:Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

I think George Williams may have been a dock pilot, not a river pilot, but "Beyond The Bar" lists a G H Williams born 1905, licensed as a pilot 1928, died 1946. Nothing listed for a David Williams born 1854.

Thanks that's really helpful and ties in with maritime, interesting distinction as well with docks pilot, thanks again

Hi

Does anyone know much about the actual author of 'List of Pilots - 1734 to 1990' - John (PJH) Tebay? I have Tebay's in my tree so this caught my eye. My direct ancestor was a female Tebay so I wondered if anyone knew who John Tebay's father was so I can try to find any link?

Thanks

My understanding is that Liverpool pilot Philip John Holt TEBAY was born 1928 in Wallasey, son of another Liverpool pilot Cecil Hugh Forrest TEBAY (b1885 London) who perished (along with my relative Thomas Ledsham EVANS) in the CHARLES LIVINGSTON incident in November 1939.
Cecil was a son of William Holt TEBAY (b1857 Poynton Cheshire), he a son of Septimus TEBAY (b1836 Winstanley, Lancashire), he a son of Thomas TEBAY who married Margaret SHAW on 4 December 1826 in All Saints Church, Wigan.
The name is relatively rare, so there's a good chance your female TEBAY might belong to the same family.

Oh, thank you for all that information. That's great - wonder if I'll now find a link?

[glenburn]

If you're willing to post the name, location and time-frame of your TEBAY ancestor I may be able to help?

[cafetiere]

I've already worked it out! He's a 4th cousin, twice removed . But, thanks for the offer.
