Thanks BY and GB for your help on this.(and on all previous requests)  The fact that there are no other Joseph Martins, helps in establishing I have the right one.

Hi,
Happy New year to all. Returning to research I have recently ordered a death cert for Joseph Martin (died 1893). born 1833. Occupation on death cert is listed as pilot.(Our Joseph Martin was dismissed from service in 1879)   I'm trying to establish whether there was more than one Joseph Martin b 1833 listed on the Liverpool pilot lists. A process of elimination. Hope you can help.
Regards
Jan

Hello,
Thanks to all who've helped with info in the past.  Just returning to the "Pilots" side of the tree. Can someone check whether there are 2 William Sales listed as pilots.  I'm thinking William Sale who died 1857 might have been known as William Taylor Sale. and wonder whether there was a William Lea Sale also pilot? Also is there a Samuel James Rule?

Many Thanks

Can I request more look ups please?  Each step I take on the family history trail reveals more Pilots!
I would like to confirm some census info if possible. (fjaney and I have now connected off line)

In the 1851 census Jane Sale(nee Martin) Pilot’s wife was living in a household with her husband William Lea Sale Pilot and her brothers Joseph Martin 17 apprentice pilot and  John  age 22( John Alfred) Pilot (You looked this up for fjaney)
In 1871 John B Sale 18yrs son of Jane Sale is listed as an apprentice pilot.

I thought that Joseph Martin (born 1833) was apprenticed in 1854 so wonder if you could check this for me and provide confirmation for William Lea Sale and John B Sale.   

Kind regards

I'm wondering if someone could help me with the name of Pilot boat no 5 in mid 1850s and again in mid 1870s?
Also could you confirm that boat no 8 in 1860s was named "Pride of Liverpool". I have found pictures of Woods watercolours of it, but so far nothing of boat 5.

The help provided to me earlier in the month has been invaluable.  I would like to make contact with fjaney (who shares the Martin interest)

Regards,

Re Glenburns factfinding:  Many thanks.

Further to the interconnectedness and generations of pilots: Glenburn noted:
On 19 August 1877, in Liverpool St Silas, pilot William DAVIES married Anna Maria MARTIN, daughter of John Alfred MARTIN and Anna Maria WILLIAMS, who were married on 15 February 1853, also in Liverpool St Silas.
 
I just found Anna Maria Willliams father Robert listed as a Pilot and brother Edward as apprentice pilot in 1841.  So father - Pilot, brother-apprentice pilot, husband pilot, son inlaw pilot, grandson pilot. I hope fjaney checks back in.  It gets better by the day!

What a fantastic resource this is! I have been reading a ww1 diary of a relative who visited Liverpool in Feb 1917, and stayed at Denton Dr. Seacombe with William and Annie Davies. The diary mentions son Alf was at sea at the time. On your site I have discovered the same "Alfred Davies" as a Pilot apprentice who was killed H.M.X "Alfred H. Read" At the Bar 28th Dec 1917 aged 21. I have now to read more about this tragic event.      The writer of the diary met his end in Sept of the same year near Ypres.   

Thanks to all who contribute research.
