I have a man born 1843 in Bethnal Green who is a labourer and I think I have found him arriving in Boston Massachusettes in 1870 described on passenger list as a Mariner? then later on in the 1880 Maine census as a Sailor.
Now what I am wondering is would he have maybe joined the American Navy while still here or would you say he was a Sailor in this Country before he left?
I know nothing about naval stuff .
Thanks very much
ooh and also what does it mean when it says by their name on the Passenger list Steerage ???
