1. Find out what you are looking at. The entry for this on FMP shows it comes from BT 114/11. Putting this into Discovery (advanced search best, as it has a place to search for references) 2. Look at the 'context of this record'. The entries here often have useful info. That for BT 114 explains it is an index to BT 113, seamen's tickets. Click on the link BT 113 and that shows that gives you a page explaining what is BT 113 is also on FMP. 3. Click on 'partner website' link back to FMP. This page is not as useful as it should be. The index works by giving you the no. to look up, but FMP don't allow for that to be entered! 4. However, entering the name William Howe and series BT113 gives just 16 results. Not too many if you had to work thro' them all, but as the index entry said 'Lambeth' I tried the Surrey one first, and that matches on ticket no. (Afraid the image isn't too clear, though) I set out how I would go about finding more in case it helps with other records, but this link should probably take you straight to the register entry on FMP: http://tinyurl.com/j436x7m Hope that helps, Teresa On 06/04/2016 21:14, Sue Church via wrote: > Hi All > > > I'm send this on behalf of one of my area members who is having trouble sending this message, although she is receiving from the list??? can anyone help with this also > > > ************************************************************************************************************* > Subject: William Howe - seaman > > Advice request please > > >From FMP seaman list under Education I can find > > 1854 387121 HOWE - William Lambeth > > Where can I find more about him?
