Hi List One of my cousins, has found on the 1861 Census under Royal Navy (and this is her note to me) William James HINES (born 1837) Capt Main Top: Vessel: Immortalite (presume HMS) Vessel town Gibraltar Is anyone able to fill out more details about this entry in 1861 Census? William James HINES was born in Elson, Gosport in 1837. Thanks Rita PS William later ran pubs in Weymouth and "gaming boats"? in the harbour!

'Evening Rita A few snippets on HMS Immortalite can be found on my web site at: http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/18-1900/I/02372.html From comparing the pay scales for 1860, sourced from the Navy List for Dec of that year it would appear a Captain of the Main Top was a First Class Petty Officer http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/RN/Pay_and_Condns/Pay_1860_Ratings.htm Regards Paul Portland On Thu, 5 May 2005 20:57:47 +0100, "Rita Newton" <newton.r@tesco.net> wrote: >Hi List >One of my cousins, has found on the 1861 Census under Royal Navy (and this is her note to me) >William James HINES (born 1837) Capt Main Top: Vessel: Immortalite (presume HMS) Vessel town Gibraltar >Is anyone able to fill out more details about this entry in 1861 Census? >William James HINES was born in Elson, Gosport in 1837. >Thanks >Rita > >PS >William later ran pubs in Weymouth and "gaming boats"? in the harbour! > > > > > >==== ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT Mailing List ==== >Visit the knightroots website at www.knightroots.co.uk > >============================== >Search the US Census Collection.
