Thanks ShaunJ - yep that's him (Williams!) working on the basis he will have become a pilot at some stage (unless that was just something he told the kids!), I've a very very dim memory of him taking me and my mum in what I'm guessing would have been the early 1970s on a tugboat, his father David Williams (1854-1954) looks to have been a mariner and mersey boatman for many years, possibly a pilot at some point as well

Hi, a punt in the dark as I can see this thread started a loooong time ago! My father George illiams, born 1905, is down on various family docs as a Ships Pilot, and that's always my memory of him. Maritime have no trace, wondered if anything on here? His father, David Williams born around 1854 may also have been a Liverpool pilot, master mariner. Any help or information appreciated

Thanks
