I am trying to trace my G Grandfathers service record. The only information I have is from his children's birth details. 1870 stationed in Sligo. 1876-1879 stationed in Ballyshannon Coastguard Station. Described as a coastguard boatman. He died on a visit to Glasgow in 1900 and his death Cert. gave a home address as Thomond Gate Limerick and stated that he was a coastguard pensioner. I have tried to find any info on a visit to Kew but had no luck. As he would only have been 28 years old when he was in Sligo would Sligo have been a first posting after service in the navy?Was there a policy of moving coastguards around the coast. Any help or suggestions on where else I can look would be much appreciated. James L Sullivan

Jim, Did you get to look at these documents: - ADM 139/274 27301 - 27400 http://www.nation...ssmethod=0 ADM 139/867 6601B - 6700B http://www.nation...ssmethod=0 which would ahve some details of his earlier services as 27353 and 6631B. All the Best Hugh PS From your other post: - http://www.coastg...read_id=86 I am not sure if you have already been to Kew. Edited by HughVaugh on 20/02/2008 10:29 |
