Hi Bob, Its always worth giving the National Archives a going over. Your boatswain is there in several references serving from 1818 t0 1854. The boatswain looks after all the masts, boats and rigging, the Gunner the guns, Ammunition and Powder. I suspect the gunner is the son of the boatswain. Mike Waterlooville
thanks Mike nice to hear from you again I doubt it his father as the Gunner was b 1787 ( what does Super & Gunner mean) I would probably put his age about right for Ann's b 1819. what is the link to national archives I always have trouble with that Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: <Hillmoore@aol.com> To: <ENG-HAM-PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [PORTSMOUTH-GOSPORT] Ann HUIT > Hi Bob, > > Its always worth giving the National Archives a going over.

Bob Super is probably an abbreviation for Superannuation ie a form of pensionable service open to some warrant officers.
