Hi all,
          searching Master and Mate records on Ancestry I found this relating to my G,Grandfather Charles Horne.(sorry cant do a link).

by the foundering of the scho Mermaid of Banff,being ran down by SS Lilly Dale? of S,S, on the 28th Inst? by which I lost all my effects.The said certificate was issued at Cardiff in 92 0r 93,but I cannot remember the number as all my papers are lost.

Charles was applying for his Masters Competency Cerificate.The date was  30th November 1903 and it was re-issued  Jan 1904.
Would this accident been reported anywhere?. He served as a Mate on the Mermaid from 15/11/03--28/11/03.
Also looking at his records I am puzzled why he would have gone from being a Master in 1902 then Steward in 1903.

Thanks in advance.

Just because it says Bedwelty on her Death registration does not mean she was buried at that church as Bedwelty was the parish area which covered Argoed, Bargoed, Blackwood, Briery Hill, Ebbw Vale, George Town, New Town, Pengam, Pontygof, Rock, Rhymney, Tredegar, New Tredegar and Victoria. Where was she living when she died ? Address should be on the death certificate. Failing that where was she married and or christened ? Possibly buried in same church.

Hi,saphiregirl,

                      my grandfather's small birth certificate gives his birthplace as Rock Bedwelty.When we sent for the full cert it gives his birth as 6 Elm Street,Aberbargoed.Presuming from your post that  Rock Bedwelty is part of Aberbargoed. I was wondering where grandfather would have been christened-what would be the nearest church to this address.

Regards.

Hi Pam,

             ancestry has quite a few records for Michael Cotter including permission to marry Catherine Dodd.

Hope this helps,
