Hello Listers My problem is how can I find out the name if the ship or ships that my great grandfather Mark Ridley Baker sailed on. On his Seaman's Ticket it states that he was born at Robin Hood's Bay , 11th July 1828 when unemployed resides at Whitby. He first went to sea as an Apprentice 20 December 1843. Ticket issued at Sunderland 6 day of May 1845. The years 1949 and 1850 are blank. In 1951 he was a Seaman in June and a Mate in December. I have been unable to finding anything more about him until the following Censuses. On the 1851 Census he is lodging at a house in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. He married in 1852 and on the 1861 Census he is with his wife and 3 sons at 28 Dundas Street, Middlesbrough Does this mean that the ship/ships he was on is/are in Harbour at Middlesbrough? Looking forward to knowing any comments about this enquiry. Mary
