Goodmorning,         With so much help, I am making some progress. The Ships Book ADM 135/148 is the Edgar's recordbook, only availible at the Archives. Does anyone know of a person or persons who do research at the Archives? I did find a list of names of people who do genealogy reseach bur none who specialize in naval genealogy. Also we have people who do "Random Acts of Kindness, RAK charging only for expenses. Is there such a group in the UK?         I know about Wills and his siblings in the Bath Workhouse, the death of his mother after childbirth and poor baby Emma who only lived a very short time.         Little by little, I am closing in on him.               Mardell
