    1. Re: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] Brick wall or even stone wall

    3. Go to the National Archives website. Put William Harnett in the search box and ADM in the third box. This will reveal 5 William Harnett's who served in the RN at various times. Their dates of birth are about:- 1793, 1807, 1801,1786,1833 so your man might be sailor number 2. Try Ireland as a possible birthplace. In the long peace which followed the defeat of Napoleon he served in the RN from 1828 to 1842. He may well have gone on to serve in the merchant fleet. Two marriages? You know what sailors are!
