Hello All
I'm tracing information on George Scott mariner what I have so far is listed below, the only problem is that I can't find documentation linking George SCOTT mariner Worthing to George SCUTT born worthing then becomes a mariner in 1856 then disappears in 1857 in Sydney as George SCOTT.
He may of jumped ship to chase gold or joined another ship he shows up in 1861 as a A.B. then on and off as a mariner up to 1867 then the next occupation drayman on my Grandfathers birth Cert in 1881.
Crew agreements for coastal ships are virtually non-existent so my hope is to find him on a British bound ship and the crew agreement.
To narrow the search down for a crew agreement can somebody look up birth details to find out when he changed his occupation and left the sea.
After his marriage in Hobart 1864 he had, GEORGE THOMAS 21/01/1865, ELIZABETH EMILY 27/04/1867, CAROLINE ROSINA 28/06/1869, MARY ANN HENRIETTA 15/08/1871, ROBERT JOHN 09/01/1874, ARTHUR 15/03/1877, ALBERT 02/06/1879, ALFRED. Reg Alfred Baptised FREDERICK HENRY. 28/10/1881, MAY 02/05/1885, CHARLES ERNEST 26/02/1888. All Hobart Tas.
