From: Bill Kean [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 10 November 2013 12:14 PM Subject: Mixture I have a relative shown on the Glasgow 1881 (April ) Census as 4th Mate - SS Marathon ( which was likely to be O.N 28820 according to your website - previous query ). I have since discovered he got his 2nd Mate Certificate in June 1879. Would he have taken a ship at a lower rating? Another relative is shown in October 1894 as an Assistant Ships Steward on the Anchor Line. I learned previously that Cunard Archives are held in Liverpool. Who would hold the archives for the Anchor Line and what were the duties of a ship's steward? Lastly I have a photo of someone in uniform ( presumably Shipping Line) Who can I contact to find out about the insignia on his cap and sleeves , ie the line and rating? Many thanks......Bill
