Henry Murrant navy service 1847-1850
« on: Friday 18 November 22 03:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to connect to a Henry Murrant for which I have found two navy references:

1.  HMS Excellent 1847-1848 with next of kin sister Ann Stokes.  From other research this would be Henry Murrant born 1820 Alverstoke to Henry & Lucretia Murrant.

2.  HMS Cormorant 1849-1850 with next of kin mother Ann (presumably Murrant).  This one could be the son of George & Ann Murrant (nee Hunt) born 1830 baptised 1834 Alverstoke and would be a nephew of the one above.

Is there any record that could help determine of they are the same man or different men as suspected?

Cheers, Colin

The one on Cormorant is a cooper, so I would think this is the Henry who was married to Lucretia. He was a cooper. His mother Ann is with them (and Ann Stokes) in the 1841 census.
