Hello,
Thanks to all who've helped with info in the past.  Just returning to the "Pilots" side of the tree. Can someone check whether there are 2 William Sales listed as pilots.  I'm thinking William Sale who died 1857 might have been known as William Taylor Sale. and wonder whether there was a William Lea Sale also pilot? Also is there a Samuel James Rule?

Many Thanks

Hi,
There are 3 Sales in the list.
William, for whom you already have the info.
John Broadfoot Sale, born 1852, licenced 1873, retired 1915.
George Sale, born 1877, licenced 1901, retired 1942.
There aren't any Rules in the list of Pilots.
Best of luck in your research
Regards
Dave

Hi, according to my grandfathers marriage certificate (1901) his father is down as Edwin Morgan, Pilot, Deceased. As my grandfather lived in Liverpool from the age of 4 can you help to see if there is any record of a Pilot named Edwin Morgan on the Mersey, mid to late 1800s. I am having difficulty finding just when he died so finding if he worked in Liverpool will help. Thanks

Hi,
Only 2 Morgans in the list.
Nicholas Morgan born 1862, licenced 1884, retired 1921.
William Morgan born 1852, licenced 1871, died in service 1899. Did William have aother christian name, Edwin? Maybe the Pilot Character Book could tell you at MMM, Albert Dock, Liverpool,
Sorry can't be of more help
Regards
Dave

Many thanks Dave,  I am waiting for some birth certs which may shine more light on the problem. There is also a likelyhood that my Great Grandfather was a Pilot in South Wales before he died. Its another line for me to follow. Thanks again.
