Naval record - coastguard abbreviations
« on: Tuesday 06 July 21 10:57 BST (UK) »
Hello  I have a Naval record for  someone who served on various ships over about 15 years and then transferred to the Coastguard service. It is the coastguard references I would appreciate some help with .

The record is from UK Naval Officer & Rating Service 1862 - 1919 ( piece 076 Admiralty Ratings 1869 April - Sept)

His name is William Madden ( baptised Gravesend 1827)
After the list of ships comes the record for coastguard service

29 Nov 1856 Coastguard boatman  .
14 Dec 1859  ........   
After that it is just abbreviations which I can’t understand - can anyone help me please?

I’m sorry I haven’t posted the actual record (which I found on Ancestry) but am working on an iPad and unsure how to do all the technicalities for that

The next rank up from boatman was Commissioned Boatman.  One of the words looks like an abbreviated version of commissioned.https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/coastguard-officers/

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

The TM. could mean    tempoy exn = temporary extraman

Firstly thank you to ShaunJ for providing the link to the document. I think you are correct MaxD and tonepad with your reading of two of the abbrieviations - commissioned boatman. And temporary extra man as both make sense.

Also the link to all the documents from the NA! What a detailed set of records and so logically organised the whole. I have had as look at some of the Establishment  books and found William Madden in ‘England part ll Berwick to Ramsgate’ - looks like to me, if I’ve understood it correctly, that he was transferred from Southwold to Walton Gap. I can see I’ve got to spend some time working through the books to get aNoverall views of his service.

Thanks once again for providing these links.
