hi all im hoping someone can help me fill i the blanks in my family history research. i have a great x4 grandfather (john evans) that was stationed in ventry as a coastguard, i have gathered that he married a welsh woman frin beumaris and had 3 children harriott;grace;and john i will post his service records below' but in short all i have is sarah his wife is a widow and living in north wales in 1851 census. with the children' i do nit know john evans nationality where he died, where the kids were born ect. i hope anyone can help in my search. regards neil. Ref : pg 176 / ADM 175-16 Station : Ballydavid date removed : from station : J.B. (? F.B.) same notation for 6 others at Ballydavid Name/Rank : John Evans / Boatman Reason :removed Date Discharge/Removal : 31 May 1826 to Station : Dingle Ref : pg 179 / AD 175-16 Station : Dingle date removed : 31 May 1826 from station : CGS Ballydavid Name/Rank : John Evans / Boatman Reason : removed Date Discharge/Removal : 10 Oct 1827 to Station : Ventry pg 170 / AD 175-16 Station : Ventry date removed : 10 Oct 1827 from station : Dingle Name/Rank : John Evans / Boatman Reason : - Date Discharge/Removal : - to Station : - Notes : - pg 165 / ADM Station : Ventry date removed : 10 Oct 1827 from station : Dingle Name/Rank : John Evans / Boatman Reason : Died Date Discharge/Removal : 31 July 1843[?] to Station : I'm not sure what the notation under 'from' on the initial Ballydavid record stands for - I'd suggest a posting on the Coastguards of Yesteryear website to ask the experts there, include the references above. The Church of Ireland marriage records for Ventry parish only go back to 1845 - early records for the parish were apparently lost during the civil war. The baptism for Harriott Elizabeth Evans seems to be listed under Dingle rather than Ventry parish. (this entry is about half way down on the right hand page) There are a number of other baptisms on the same page which mention coastguards. |

Hi Neil I'm afraid I can't take you a great deal further forward, but I might add a little to your knowledge. FB is Former Book and indicates that your man can be found in ADM 175/15 (pdf 347) at Ballydavid. This shows that he was nominated to the CG Service from the Revenue Cruiser Success in 1821. I did also look at ADM 175/99 (pdf32), which is the index of nominations for Ireland. This shows that he was paid off from Success on the 28 Sept 1821 and nominated to the CGS on 19 Oct 1821. Frustratingly his place of birth on this record is blank, but it does give his age as 33. Other than this I don't know what to suggest. Martin |

http://discovery....mp;_st=adv You need to look at pdf 155. They are not available online, but if you could get access to the Navy Lists for the 1820's this could provide a clue as to where the Revenue Cruiser Success was stationed. As an example the 1814 list has her on the Plymouth Station, identifying a location might help you find more family information. Martin |
