Hello Mariners, Thanks for your VERY rapid responses, even if they are automatically generated. Good system. My query is about James Grimshaw of Liverpool. His daughter, Hannah, died in Sydney in 1885,aged 82 years. Her death certificate stated that her father's occupation was "Master Mariner". We understand that she left England in 1830 with her husband, John Williams (!) and two sons. We would like to know whether there is a way of confirming the occupation. I have already begun the guessing game of possible dates for him, but at present would guess a birth of 1770's.
