Hi David I believe I have managed to trace Charles Cooper's entire career. He appears to have been nominated on 25 June 1821 at Arundel, taking up his first posting at Osmington Mills (Weymouth) on 27 August 1821. On the 14 July 1825 he was transferred to Wicklow Head in Ireland, and from there, on the 31 August 1828, to Wexford, and thence, on the 15 June 1829 to Cahore. From Cahore he was transferred back to England and Tower 24 on 22 April 1831, but this time on a promotion to Commissioned Boatman. Some eleven years later he was transferred to Jurys Gap (Rye), again on a promotion, but this time to Chief Boatman in Charge. This was to be his last posting bringing a career in the CG Service to an end after some 31 years, being Discharged on the 21st September 1852 on an Allowance of £49 per Annum. Regards Martin |
