Inicky,
Yes that him. I have his census details and some trade directory information already.
I am interested in anything to do with The Brig 'Stephen Watson' The Official Number is O.N. 2661 Signal Code letters H.Q.C.K. recorded in 1857. MN List (and therefore in others)
First registered Sunderland and, 240 t. sail 157._1838 This could be either her port number in 1838, or the 157th. day in 1838
Could you please check/clarify with Sunderland archives the above information?
They should also have the Ship Transaction Documents which they should have on fiche. They record a ship's owners during the period of her registration in that port, and can prove useful for further research into the life of a ship.
These fiche were issued by the Registrar to those port museums and/or libraries that wanted them, a few years ago.
Any other information on Captain WATERS would be most welcome.
I will gladly reimburse any expenses.
Many thanks in advance
Mike
