Hello Alan, Do you have his certificate number? With that, you *might* pick him up using TNA file BT 124 which is a free download. See my February 2013 post about this source in The Mariners List Archives here:http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MARINERS/2013-02/1360080896 Regards,Adi   |   | |   |   |   |   |   | | RootsWeb: MARINERS-L [MAR] BT 124 - Online Alternative (partially) to Lloyd's CaptainsRegistersDear all,   As I work my way through The National Archives BT files online, here's a real beauty detailing voyages in numerical master's ticket number order.   | | | | View on archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | |   | From: Alan Cairnie via <mariners@rootsweb.com> To: mariners list <Mariners@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 10:49 PM Subject: [MAR] Adam Wilson (1839-1888?) I am interested in the career of this man to whom I am related.  I am trying to fill in the latter part of his career.  From the printed Lloyd's Register of Captains (1869), his submission for his master's certificate and Lloyd's Register of Ships I can trace his early career up to the Janet Court of Glasgow (Reg'n no. 50373) of which he was the master in 1869 and 1870.  However, W is one of the letters which have not been indexed for the Lloyd's Register of Captains after 1869.  There is a report on Ancestry of his death at sea in 1888 and family legend is that this was near Archangel. Any suggestions of how to proceed without visiting London?

Hello Adi, That was potentially a very useful suggestion but Adam Wilson's Cert. No. was 23,386 so his travels were not recorded in BT 124 after 1851. However, his father and another shipmaster from the same village I am interested in had higher numbers and are reported there. So that helps. A useful resource with your table showing where to look. thanks again, Alan Cairnie On 18-Aug-15 10:10 PM, Mme_N_Carmichael wrote: > Hello Alan, > > Do you have his certificate number?
