John Rochford

Hi

I'm trying to find as much detail as I can about a John Rochford but I can seem to find where he was nominated from. I can see he was removed from Islandmore on 11 Dec 1831 and then appeared to be removed to "Recorders Inay" on 28 Sept 1842, but I also found a John Rochford removed from Cowes 25/3/1836 and on 11 Dec 1839 removed to Casleh Bay (?) for Punishment. Maybe there are two John Rochfords ?

Can anyone help ?

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter

I can confirm that they are one and the same man. Using the Establishment Books I have traced his entire career in the CG Service.

First nominated to Newtown CGS from Hythe on 8 April 1831 (ADM 175/6 pdf 317) from where he made the following moves:
18 Feb 1835 to Shanklin (175/6 - 305)
11 Feb 1835 to Cowes
25 March 1836 to Islandmore (Innisgowla) (175/18 - 224)
11 Dec 1839 to Casleh Bay
28 Sept 1842 to Recorders Quay (175/18 - 198)
24 August 1856 to Ardfry (175/18 - 218)
Died 1 Dec 1861 (175/19 214).

I also checked to see if he had been issued with a Seamen's Ticket. Although I did not find one for him, I did find a John Rochford, born 4 Oct 1836 Sandown, who gave his usual place of residence as Galway (1849), so my guess this is a son.
