Thank you for all your repiles, I know far more than I did before.

I think I mentoned in my first post Henry was mentioned in Pay musters, but I forgot to include the link from 4 years ago, which then as now I appreciate.

I am sure as more records are digitalised it should hopefully help find ancestors who are tricky to find, or help to cross reference.

I  have found it strange no death certificate, but maybe he was at sea, or in another country, but hopefully there is a paper trail.

Abercrombie street was demolished it appears during bombing in WW11.

Emily Mersh/Marsh was married to a Mr Westcott, Pulling and Cantle I think, surving them all.

If i get any more information I will be sure to post here. 

A George Pulling was granted a China Medal for service in First China war on the ship "Larne"  during 1840-1842.

Not sure where the George came from, as his name was Henry.

I also read, there was no continuous service then, so after every voyage, you where paid off, and this could have made a difference with paperwork not all in the one place etc.

Thank you all so much for the information provided, it has helped paint a fuller picture of Henry Pulling.

I am not sure if the GRO go back that far, or the death could have registered in Chile, there is a dissenters cemetery where the ship would have been based, and there is supposedly a Royal Navy vault in the cemetery.

All the Children where born in Abercrombie St, 1838, 1840 and 1843 possibly at no1. Henry is described a Seaman and Mariner. Henrietta's birth has the most information thankfully, although Charlotte my Great x 2 Grandmother has RN Seaman I think as fathers occupation on her marriage cert, but he is not listed as deceased.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help with deciphering the attached writing. 7th box across. Its from a birth certificate in 1843, of Henrietta Pulling. I believe her Dad was in the Royal Navy, and  may have died shortly there after as his wife remarries in 1845. I cant find anything on the GRO  as of yet. Her father was called Henry Pulling. He is listed on pay musters, but no further info after 1842 I think.

I can make out Seaman and possibly HM and then what looks like H something and what looks like a word begining with L underneath.

Thanks in advance.

Elizabeth Stocks died in 1835, and Mary Stocks  in 1828.
