John Davison-Monkseaton Mariner 1780's
« on: Saturday 11 March 17 12:39 GMT (UK) »
Where can I find any information regarding   JOHN DAVISON Monkseaton Mariner listed as such on his dau baptism  ANN  1783 Christ Church Tynemouth and his son's death record  JOHN died 1771

I know records are kept in local Records Offices from the mid 1800's. In the programme--WDYTYA
With Cheryl featuring  ( -admittedly ) a MASTER MARINER they went to a building overlooking North Shields, to look into this fact. Was it just for the view or are records held there?
I would expect he sailed out of North Shields as I doubt there would be anything relevant at Monkseaton.
I cannot find a marriage for him in the Bishop's Transcripts, I am having difficulty reading them.
Any help would be gratefully received.
BigOoms.

Thank you for your interest  Radcliff
The surname  is   ORNSBY  a very unusual one.
I think you are correct in your assumption. I have now found an Eleanor born to JOHN DAVISON
Baptised    18th April 1779
The only other ORNSBY is a  WILLIAM listed as a MASTER MARINER, probably her brother.
Maybe I can find out about Mariners through him.
If he studied for a ticket, as they call it, then maybe there are records somewhere.
Anyone any ideas?

Although I've not used it myself I have seen on here that North Shields library has an excellent local history department.  Perhaps contact with them might be useful too

Thank you c-side for the recommendation re North Shields library (now called. North Shields Customer First Centre)
i had a very prompt  reply from them stating they hold records of Master mariners and shipping  from 1786. From  Newcastle Custom House, Shields Custom House ( 1848 ) and Sunderland Custom House Records.
Also a Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships. Useful for tracing  local ships, captains,  masters and owners.
Maybe this will be useful to others.
