Hi, Can anyone help with William Roberts who was listed as a pilot in Liverpool in 1806 and later listed as a river pilot.

Thanks Joanne

Hi Joanne and welcome to Rootschat. In the list in "Beyond the Bar" there is nothing that early for a William Roberts. The earliest one was licensed in 1827 and died in 1829. There's another who was licensed in 1832 and died in 1833.

Hi Shaun J,
Thank you much for checking.  He was listed as a pilot on marriage and two birth certificates in 1805 and 1806. 
In a 1809 birth record he was listed as a boatsman.  He lived in Plumb St, Liverpool at this time. (I can’t find it on google maps) but the records are for St Nicolas and St Annes Church) Are there other types of pilots he could have been? What is a boatsman?
I have to check whether he was dead by 1830 when he was listed as a river pilot. 

I have really enjoyed reading the stories of Liverpool and the pilots.

Cheers Joanne (Perth WA)

You can see Plumbe Street on this 1851 map, between the I and V of LIVERPOOL

http://maps.nls.uk/view/102344096#zoom=6&lat=3015&lon=4896&layers=BT

It ran from Key Street to Canal Bank - perhaps William Roberts was a boatman on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. There was a timber wharf at Plumbe Street.

My family has tow Liverpool Master Pilots 1. John Scott 1817 to 1890 was Master Pilot of Pilot Boat No 9 called Guide. His daughter Amelia Scott married George Henry Cook Rogers 14th June 1880. His father was Master Pilot George Henry Rogers 1827 to 1896 I cannot find which was his boat No or its name. Was the Master Pilot Rogers blown up by a German Mine in 1917 a relative? I also see that a Thomas Leicester 1776 to 1834 was a pilot at Liverpool-does he appear in any records?

I would like to take up your offer. I have several relatives who were Master Pilots.
1 George Henry Rogers 1827 to 1896. I cannot find the name or number of his Pilot Boat.
In 1917 one of the Pilots lost on the Liverpool Pilot Boat that struck a mine was a Rogers. Was he related?
2. John Scott 1817 to 1890 was a Master Pilot of "Guide" Pilot Boat number 9 Were there any other Scott Family members that were Pilots?
3 Was Thomas Leicester 1739 to 1809 a Pilot?
I also had a distant cousin who was a Thames Pilot any ideas finding his story. No sites seem to give information about retired Pilots.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
My Regards, John Nicholas Leicester
