Seaman Service Records????

**CURREY_NZ** · 21-10-2010 12:10 PM

Would anyone have easy access to the following please?

Records of the Admiralty, Naval Forces, Royal Marines, Coastguard, and related bodies
Series Admiralty: Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services

I am still trying to find my GG Grandad Alfred FLETCHER bn c1830, supposedly from Ireland (not proved), evidently jumped ship here in Nelson, New Zealand about 1850 and was married to Mary Ann LOVELL in 1854.

Any advice, info or resources gratefully received
Many thanks, Glen

Researching:
HARWOOD with EASTMENT; FLETCHER; KIRK; WINTER

Have you tried the national archives? they may have something. The only website I can think of at the moment - and you may have already tried it is

pbenyon.plus.com/Naval.html prefix http://www.

If you go to GENUKI search page enter coastguard naval etc in the search box see what it finds may or may not be helpful

Records at the National Archives appear to start in 1853 CAT. Ref. ADM 188, so if he jumped ship in 1850 they are not likely to be of any use.

Interesting background here -
