This is a query I hope someone might be able to provide a pointer for. I'm chasing a naval chaplain, name of Watkins, a Devonshire man, who may have been active any time between 1780 and 1792. Possibly even earlier. I have no other information on his naval career to date, so apologise for the vagueness. If anyone can offer a steer about where I could start to look, I'd be very, very grateful indeed. |

If you can track down a copy, then try and find "The Sea Chaplains; a History of the Chaplains of the Royal Navy" by G. Taylor (published in 1978). It lists the names and dates of appointments of sea going clergymen. |

Fantastic PhiloNauticus The British Library have a copy. I'll be visiting the BL in March, so have added 'Sea Chaplains' to the reading list. Thank you very much. |
