My family history has taken me back to 1800's when my ancester James Davidson b 1801 Scotland worked as a Coastguard. Using the National Archives ADM 175/100 page 21 I found his record below; James Davidson Boatman - Residence Cairn Ryan - transfer 17th Nov 1845 to new Station looks like CLOGHY - could this be Cloughy, Co Down? please see photo below [img]http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff498/olduserBX/Ireland1845querynewStation.jpg[/img] is not a valid Image. Would appreciate any help with the identification of correct Station. Also i thought Cairn Ryan was nr Stranraer, Scotland. I have some of his service history prior to 1845 when he was located in Isle Of Whithorn/ Glenluce/Hastings/Martello Tower 36. Edited by Olduser1 on 20/03/2012 15:08 |

Hi, and welcome to the Forum. To pick up your man at Cloghy you need to download ADM 175/19 (pdf 408). You are quite correct, he had previously been working at Cairnryan (ADM 175/22 pdf 96), and prior to that at Lamlash. Martin |

Many thanks for the link I now have an almost complete history of his station postings 1822 to 1860. |
