Lancashire Lookup Offers / Re: Offer:Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990
« on: Monday 31 January 22 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I wonder if you are still doing lookups for Mersey Pilots? If so, any information on the following would be helpful:

1.George Frederick Parkinson born Liverpool 1838 enumerated in 1861 as a Pilot, 1901 a Master Pilot and Pilot (superannuated) in 1911.

2.James Parkinson born Liverpool 1869 is listed as a Liverpool Pilot in 1901, then a Pilot 1st Class in 1911, retiring in 1927.

3.James' brother Charles Parkinson born Liverpool 1871 is listed on the 1901 census as 'Liverpool Pilot'. I can't find him after 1901.

4.Frederick Parkinson born Liverpool 1878 described as an Apprentice Seas Pilot in 1901 and a Licensed Liverpool Pilot for Mersey Docks & Harbour Board in 1911 (retired by 1939).

In anticipation and thank you.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: I think James Pottage must be related - but how?

I read with interest your post about James Pottage. The family I have been researching descends from Thomas and his wife Elizabeth. After a decade or more of not doing any work on the tree I've recently come back to it. I have Thomas as being married to an Elizabeth Milner in about 1802 but maddeningly I haven't put the source - it was probably all on paperwork long gone now. This made sense at the time because the family descends through their son Richard (born 1805 Elperthorpe (suspect this is Helperthorpe) and the name Milner was used as a middle name for Richard's son James Milner Pottage and James Milner's daughter Sarah Eliza named one of her children Milner. Incidentally, boot and shoe making went down the generations and 'my' branch ended up moving from Hull to Liverpool with the trade.

Anyway, it just may give you another line to look at and confirm or dismiss. My early records suggest Thomas and Elizabeth had a Jane (13.6.1803), Richard (31.3.1805), Joanna (abt 1808), James (abt 1811, Ann (abt 1813).
