Looking for a Thomas Powell who supposedly served aboard HM Revenue cutter Fly(?) sometime between about 1855-1895. He was in Kilrush at some point as several children were born while he was there. He was a carpenter supposedly on the cutter or for the coast guard. He was born in Kinsale. I have his wedding in 1862 and the child born in 1867. But I can not find him in any list or file to do with the navy, admiralty or coast guard online.. Can someone who knows these waters better help? |

Firstly welcome to the Forum. There are a number of records available for Thomas, which are available as free downloads from the National Archive's (NA) website. The first is ADM 175/24 pdf 48, this shows his entry to the Revenue Cruiser 'Desmond' I have then jumped ahead to 1869 when he leaves the service and ADM 175/61 pdf 76. There are likely to be other records in-between, but I'll leave those for you to find! Not available as a free download is ADM 29/78/13, this is his service/pension record. If you have access to Ancestry it can be found there, alternately you can get a quote from the NA for them to copy it for you. I no-longer have access to Find my Past, but a search of their Merchant Seamen's records return some possibles for your man. Martin |

Oh - you're a genius - I can usually find stuff but I was hitting a blank here - I'll go back and take another look and see what I can find. Thank you. (Plan to have access to ancestry later when I know everything I want to look up in one shot) Thank you (and for the welcome too) |
