Seamen’s Crew Lists, 1851 (TNA: PRO BT 98)
These lists and
agreements are intended to find many of those involved in merchant shipping who
cannot be located on the 1851 census because they simply were not at home to be
enumerated. Some were at ports in the
British Isles many miles from home and some were not even in the country. Details given include age, place of birth,
rank and ticket number, previous and current ships with ports of registration,
dates and places of joining and leaving, reason for leaving. Volumes relate to where the vessels were registered and about 30% of men
in each volume can be expected to have been born out of county.
