Thankyou for the Kew information. There is a CD 'Crew Lists and Agreements, 1863 to 1913' and I was hoping that someone might have a copy Jane

Hi, As far as I know a personal visit to Kew is the only way. I found my gt grandfather's master's ticket there. There is a leaflet that explains how to do it which you can download. It takes a while because you have to search the index then make a note of the ref number and order up the right register. Gwynne

Jane In order to crew on ships bound from England he would have needed to have a Seamans Ticket. The records of these are kept aat the Natinal Archives at Kew. I've not used them myself so I dont know what info you need in order to search but someone else may be able to give you some pointers or try searching the board for seamans tickets Zoe
