Julie Report 8 Aug 2019 11:26

Does anyone have experience of searching for seamen on census data? I have found a couple of articles on seamen online. but both were a little vague about the process. I have ancestors who moved up to Hartlepool from Boston, Lincolnshire. One of them, Clarke Thomas Haylock b 1831, is never recorded on a census with his wife and family. I believe I have found him on FMP merchant seamen records under the name Thomas Haylock, as a steward on a steamer in 1881, but how do I search for him on census data?
