On the post that Gins replied to she said there were Crew Lists on Ancestry. I have no idea if you have to search on the name of the ship or the name of the crew member. Knowing my luck it will be the former!

Hi Jan

Sorry (thought you were a mind-reader!)

I was trying to find out what ship he was on if possible.

Good Evening

I have just seen a posting regarding Crew Lists and I was wondering if someone would be able to help me please.

On my gg grandmother's Death Cert (Sept 1890) it says her husband WCS is a Steward on a Royal Mail Steamship. The death was reported by their son, so William must have been at sea when she died. They were living in Woolwich at the time.

I did a double take when I got the certificate as WCS was in the army in India for many years!


Thanks
