I am trying to trace Henry Jago. The only information I have is on his son's marriage certificate where he is listed as being a coastguard and district carpenter. The marriage took place in 1869 in Queenstown[Cobh] His son's name was James Jago, b. in Queenstown, 1842. On the same certificate James' wife is Elizabeth Ann Salter and her father is Thomas Salter listed as a coastguard pensioner. Elizabeth was born in Waterford in 1852 Any ideas where i may get more information on the fathers - or indeed the births of the married couple? I seem to have hit a brick wall. Many thanks Ann |

Hi Ann, and welcome to the Forum. Your man Henry was certainly a difficult man to find! However, I think I finally managed to track him down in ADM 175/99 (page 56 of 140). He appears to have been posted to Ireland from Brixham in 1823, his first posting being Derrynan/White Strand - according to the index he had already served two years in England prior to his transfer. From Derrynan he was transferred to Glandore where he rose to Chief Boatman (ADM 175/16 pages 119 & 120 of 530). He was then transferred to Castletownsend in July 1831, but I will leave it to you to follow this up, which can be done by downloading the appropriate ADM 175 file from the National Archives - if you have problems come back. Unfortunately none of these records will provide any real additional family information, but it does help you track his movements, and provide geographic search areas. Turning to Thomas Salter here I had more luck. He was was posted to Ardmore in Cork in June 1841, from Hunstanton. He was subsequently transferred to Youghal on promotion. I'm in the process of producing a database of all those CG who saw service during the Crimea War. Thomas appears to have served on HMS Caesar in the Baltic, as an Able Seaman (Ships No.337). In the ship's description book he gave his place of birth as Cork, circa 1810. For this service he was awarded the Baltic Medal. If you were to consult the description book at the NA you could get a physical description of Thomas. Using this date of birth, I checked the Genuki website, and came up trumps with a Thomas Salter stationed at Hunstanton during the Census of 1841. While too early for Elizabeth's birth this does provide details of her mother, brother and sisters. http://www.genuki...rds/S.html As with Henry, it is a case of tracing Thomas Salters career in the ADM 175 series of documents, both backward and forwards from 1841. Again this may provide details of where Thomas was originally nominated to the CG Service, which may be the Royal Navy; this would open up other avenues to search. I hope this has been some help. Regards Martin |
