John STEVENSON
« on: Thursday 22 September 05 23:01 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks after many years of searching I have at last found my Gt
grandfathers Coastguard records via the Registers of Seamen's Services at
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/

I knew he had been stationed in Lincolnshire for a number of years but until
now could not find his date of death, well, I now know that he died on 30
June 1888 of a Pulmonary Haemorrhage and was Discharged the navy "DD",
right at the bottom of his ships and stations list, and against the entry
for his death, it says NEWTON, now I have found there are three possible
Newtons in Lincs. If anyone please has access to burial records for these
three places could they please have a look and see if John STEVENSON aged 44
is there. There is a remote possibility that it may be a Catholic burial
place (if such a thing exists in these places).

Any help would be most welcome, thank you.
