In Scotlandspeople there is a County listed as "Shipping" to cover merchant seamen at sea. Do you have something similar? |

Porkie Pie -- Thanks, but I don;t think he was in the Navy, more of a normal shipworker type sailor, as this part of Cumberland was a busy shipping area. |

If he was in the royal navy then he should show on the census's even if the ship was not in the uk |

I have just recieved the marriage cert of my grandparents (1920)this morning and it says that my grandads dad was a sailor, on the 1901 census his mother was head of household and stated that she was married but there is no mention of husband/father. Is there any way I can find out infomation regarding sailors. |
