Re: Captain William Douglas, of the Falmouth, died 1741

For reference

Captain's log ADM 51/4187 covers the period of Douglas' command
Master's log ADM 52/851 does the same, but only until March 1741

Both in the national archives in Kew

Re: Prize Papers Portal

Certainly looks like it might be of interest.

Seems to be emphasising display over accessibility though, would be nice to be able to see lists rather than icons and images, would make it easier to scroll through.

Re: 18th Century Office Records

If you give his name it might help. To be a lieutenant in the Royal Navy you could not buy a commission, that only happend in the British army. To be commissioned as a lieutenant you had to have a minimum of 6 years service, at least two as a midshipman or master's mate be at least 20 years of age (...

There are two Thomas Haws, father and son. The son died in 1836. Don't have a birth date or any dates for the father.

Re: Leith Dockyard Personnel

Care needs to be taken. I think there are two Stainer Canhams, The foreman who died in 1826, and the shipwright who died in 1841. The master shipwright at Leith is almost certainly the later, who's will states " Inspector of Shipwrights in Her Majesty's Dockyard Woolwich" a grade way above...
