Dear Listers,

I have recently joined the Essex List and have followed recent sea-faring correspondence with interest. I have 2 questions. Firstly, one of my ancestors was variously described on certificates of birth and mariage as a:

a) mariner
b) seaman
c) sailor.

Do all these Victorian occupations amount to the same thing ? Or would "mariner" for instance indicate the Royal Navy ?

Secondly, any clues as to how I might locate him on a census ? I've found his family in each census, but not him.

My Essex interests are:

WOOLF - Stambridge, Burnham on Crouch and Paglesham 1750 - 1870
LOCKWOOD - Stambridge 1750 - 1800
MILLS - Paglesham 1800 - 1850
CLARKE - Canewdon 1850 - 1875

WOOLF and CLARKE - Bethnal Green 1870 - 1875

Regards,

David, Hampshire.
