John Waters .....

Post by angel » Fri Jun 16, 2006 7:25 pm

Hello

I am looking for information on John Waters born Chester about 1800 his father is Richard and both were seamen. I know what happened to John from 1820 onwards but nothing of before. Anything about his father would be appreciated and who ia mother was.

Many Thanks
Heather

Hello Liz

I now know that he served on 3 ships from 1817 - 1823. He was age 15 and was a Boy 2nd class so this makes him born about 1802. His father was a seaman too but in know nothing of his career. :(
