Offer:Look-up Liverpool (Mersey) Pilots 1734/1990

[davecigar]

Hi Paul
There are 7 Richard Parry's in the list of pilots.
The most likely match is no.6 on the list:-
Born 1849
First licenced 1869
Retired 1901
Died 1907
The previous R Parry was 1st licenced in 1844
and the next entry was not until 1940, so I've ruled those out.
If you think this is the RP you are looking for then a comprehensive record of his pilotage career can be found in the 'Pilot Character Book' at the Maritime Museum, Albert Dock, Liverpool.
If you require more info regarding pilotage in Liverpool, I'll be happy to answer any questions
Regards

Hi
Please could you look up Leonard R Crasswell - born about 1911 in South Shields.
My Mum remembers him working as a pilot on the Mersey.
Thanks

Hi Sue/Dave

There's no Liverpool pilot Leonard R CRASSWELL listed in Barrie Youde's 'Beyond the Bar'.
Could he have been crew on one of the pilot vessels, perhaps?

Hello Dave
I have been asked by a family member to see if you have a Frederick Ashworth born 1835c on your list of Liverpool River Pilots.

Thank you

Hi Edna,
Yes I can confirm that Frederick Charles Ashworth (born 1835) became a licenced Liverpool Pilot in 1856.
The only other info says he became an Appropriated (choice) Pilot for Guion Line in 1870. This means that although still a Liverpool Pilot able to pilot any ship into, and out of the Port of Liverpool, if a ship of Guion Shipping Co was due to arrive or sail from Liverpool, then he would be released from the list to pilot one of their ships.
A complete record of F C Ashworth's Pilotage career can be found in the 'Pilot Character Book', held at the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Albert Dock, Liverpool.
Regards
Dave
