Occupation Interests / Re: Missing Mariner's??
« on: Thursday 03 February 11 17:47 GMT (UK) »
Shep318 - I have details for you regarding David Drever Sclater. He was a Master Mariner and Captained two Cardiff registered vessels - The Telemaco and The Eroe, both 1866/7. I have only just found this information myself - David Sclater was my gt-gt-grandmother's first husband. As his widow, she remarried my gt-gt-grandfather George Davison. I will try and research crew agreements from Cardiff records. He is listed in some as David Selater and also as Slater and Schlater.
You mentioned he was lost at sea - I have his death at 1874 but no record of how he died.
Have you any more information? I'd be interested to know which of David Sclater and Harriet Sleep's children you are decended from - we are half-relatives, if that makes sense! Kind regards.
