This could also be someone who worked for the shipyard whilst the ship was waiting for repair. When looking for a relative I found a gentleman in the 1861 census who was listed as a Ship Keeper whilst I was really looking for a Ship Wright.
I saw your question about Mary Ann Bennet and as I am new to this, having been looking at the Bennett family in Shropshire for the last twenty years thought maybe your aunt Mary Ann Bennett may be connected? I have Samuel Bennett born in Minsterley in 1824 who had four sons, Samuel, Abel, William and Edwin. Any connection?
