Hi again, I had some credits so looked for your other ancestor , the uncle, Richard Wilkinson on the National Archives site. The Board of Trade register 159/4a gives the crew together Maria & Elizabeth 2866 Supposed lost 23.11.81 Richard Wilkinson 54 Master Whitstable 5,Vane Terrace, Seaham Charles Wiseman 22 A.B. Horning, Suffolk Charles Wm Peck 22 A.B. Kingston Charles Oak 18 O.S. London Unknown Boy - 'Whitstable' -is in a column headed 'Nationality' but seems to be town of residence for English people. '5 Vane Terrace, Seaham' is the 'Last Place of Abode'. On the National Archives site, they also give the other register 158/4 that seems to have the data that Family Search transcribed and Klifton gave in his Email. The Official Number given there is undoubtedly #2865 as you have. On 159/4a it looks more like 2866. ---- Original Message ----- > > I assume a newspaper article will be the only way to find who else was on > board? also if the Yacht was not registered then is it harder to trace it, > would you know. > > Klifton > >

Many kind thanks for checking. Unfortunately it appears that gentleman isn't the 'Uncle' of Robert Henry Wilkinson. 'Uncle' Richard Wilkinson, born Spalding, Lincolnshire 1826 was listed with his sister in law in South Bishopwearmouth aged 40 (which was about 5 years out) in 1871, occupation Mariner, and is on the 1861 census in a Ship called the 'Glen', He is it appears, to be missing by the time of the 1881 census. The appears to a Merchant Marine death at sea in February 1880, of a Rich'D Wilkinson aged 48, which could also be a possibility. I can tell you that Richard Wilkinson below does not seem to be at 5, Vane Terrace on the 1881 census, but was resident there in 1861 and 1871. In 1861 with wife Mary, and daughters Amy, Mary and Sarah, and son George, and in 1871 was listed at address with wife and children and also as Master of 'Lady Campbell of Perth'. I could not find any sign of Richard Wilkinson or the crew on the 1881 census, so may have been at sea.
