Has anyone had success in finding a "register" of Master Mariners?
My friend has hit a large brick wall and asked ME for help (ha ha). She has his "number" but has been unable to find any records - A2A, National Archives etc.
The mariner in question came from Grimsby where his father had a fleet of fishing smacks, he was sent to Glasgow to serve his apprenticeship at the age of 14 years 6 months, and was "found" when his ship was recorded in Australia.
Any help will be most appreciated.
