Hi looking for the record of someone who sailed in the merchant navy around 1880's I have been told that a Guild Hall in Windsor, may have the records. Does anyone have more information Bert --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Hi Bert, I think what you are referring to is Lloyd's Captain's Register, held at the Guildhall Library in the City of London. This lists holders of Foreign-Trade Master's Certificates and covers the period 1851+ and includes not only Captains but those who only served thereafter as Mates on British vessels. For details of others who might have sailed in other capacities in the British Merchant Navy, the below website might be useful http://www.ihrinfo.ac.uk/gh/capreg.htm Hope this helps, Jill > looking for the record of someone who sailed in the merchant navy around 1880's > I have been told that a Guild Hall in Windsor, may have the records.
