Hello Nivard, Do you know the home port of your George Webster's vessels? No matter if you don't. You can skim through the source below in one evening. I don't have a lot of suggestions for your time period, but here's a longshot. You could pick up some interesting detail on them trawling National Archives files BT 162/1 and BT 162/2 which are free downloads. They are very large pdf's but arranged alpha-chrono by port. The columns are:                                                                                                                                    -Year and Number of the Certificate of Registry                                                                                    -SHIPS NAMES                                                                                                                                      -Tonnage and how registered                                                                                                                  -Number of Men and Boys usually Employed                                                                                        - The Mariners List doesn't accept attachments but since I am replying to you directly as well as to the list, here is a small sample.

Hi Adi Thanks for that I have downloaded and started to look through them but the earliest appears to cover 1786 My man appears to have been a master from 1761 to 1766, thereafter is a gap to 1784 thereafter he appears to be a crew rather than master Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 30/09/2015 18:31, Mme_N_Carmichael wrote: > Hello Nivard, > > Do you know the home port of your George Webster's vessels?
