I don't know what is in the complete data set to know what is now online or as some suggest "missing" But I confess I find it odd that some are complaining that they now have access to information and records hitherto unattainable by many (me for one) I am just grateful for access to any and all records If you can't find what you are looking for, are you sure there is a record in the first place Yes there are no doubt errors in the transcriptions, but I would rather have it now with a few errors than much later in an impossible to attain perfect transcription Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 07/08/2015 21:36, Nivard Ovington wrote: > > About UK, Apprentices Indentured in Merchant Navy, 1824-1910 > > This collection contains lists of young men who were indentured to > merchant navy ships between the years 1824 and 1910.

I am very grateful to Ancestry for making these wonderful records available. I have found new apprentices for the ship I am researching, which is great. I was merely pointing out that I have at least two other apprentices who do not appear in this new database and I am curious as to why.

Hi John The question being, are your targets missing from the data set now available on Ancestry Or were there no records at all or are in another data set My great grandfather disappears in 1874, no death or other record has come to light to date but I don't blame Ancestry or the GRO for him not being recorded Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 10/08/2015 12:15, John Goold wrote: > I am very grateful to Ancestry for making these wonderful records available.

Hi all, Does anyone know if you need a World Ancestry sub to access these records? I'm in Australia and have a Heritage Plus sub which is supposed to give me access to all UK records. I've contacted Ancestry but haven''t heard back yet. I'm looking for Terence Keating born 1838 Dublin Ireland, though later records have him born in Australia. Cheers Jan
