Dear John57 sharp.
Its document BT 113/26 seamans registrations 1845.
His ticket number is 50703, issued 27/12/1844. Name William Sharp born Maryport 22/11/1820. Capacity - seaman, height 5ft. 8 and 3/4in. Hair and eyes brown, complexion fresh, marks - none.
First went to sea as apprentice in 1835, can write.
No royal navy service, no foreign service, resides at Maryport when unemployed.
There are 4 voyages recorded but these need decoding and also an entry saying "Cancelled and what MIGHT read " lost on board" but it's hard to read.
I could send you a photo copy if you want to contact me by email.
willialan@tiscali.co.uk I don't think I am allowed to copy the entry via Roots although if anyone knows differently I would be glad to. Cheers Humphpaul
