Great Yarmouth shipping 1803 1824
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 01:18 GMT (UK) »
Please can someone help with ships musters for 1803-24? William Edwards born 1785 was in Great Yarmouth, UK on the navy ship Majestic in 1803-6, then the Rodney 1810, then the Swiftsure 1812-4. At some stage he seems to have gone into merchant shipping because he is a mariner or sailor when his children are born, his wife was Mary. He disappears after 1824 when his daughter Emma Susannah Edwards was baptised in Gt Yarmouth.  The muster books for the Navy or Merchant shipping should have his record. Where can I find more complete copies especially for 1814 onwards please?
Many thanks
