George Hunt .. new database on Masters and Mates Certificate

[MacPanda]

Saw this on Facebook Family Matters.........New database on Ancestry.............

About Great Britain, Masters and Mates Certificates, 1850-1927

This database contains master and mate certificates issued to merchant seamen by the British Board of Trade.

Has anyone got a sub and could do a look up for me please.

GEORGE HUNT in 15/1/1872 was on the s.s. Canada ON 1285 Glasgow registered 1001 tons
George was born 9/8/1835 Derby UK and died 1/6/1913 Portland Oregon USA

I've got this info out of a little black book of his but can't find a record of him .. they have a box of records on the ship at Kew but they didn't find any mention of him in the free 2 hour search and I can't spare an arm and leg for them to look further....I was wondering if something might pop up in the new database.

[Q]

I tried to look for you Panda, but I don't have a
full subscription. I can only see the UK and
Australia.

[MacPanda]

Thanks for trying Q.....Mare is trying as well...I'm grateful to you both.

[Q]

Just going to make lunch, his tummy is
starting to growl

[MacPanda]

That's him but they have Bertha and Jessie back to front Jessie is/was the eldest.

Is the Tree owner named Garrettson?

[Q]

Typical, when I go back into search and put in the same information, I can't find the same tree.

Lots of others though.

[MacPanda]

YT's brother Daryl Garrittson does FH but he doesn't share what he finds but his wife Belinda often slips me some information...funny thing is a lot of what he has, has come from me through Leslie, YT's wife. Leslie may even have a tree on Ancestry from a few years back when she had a sub. Not sure if my FTM created a tree for me when I first got it but a free 12mth sub came with the disc when Raven and another lady sent it to me for a Chrissy pressy around 2007.
