    Hi Kath - just found this discussion.

    I cannot be 100% certain of course but I think the Robert Golder you mention achieved his Masters Ticket in 1861 (Second Mate 1858 and First Mate 1860). Born Ringwould about 1837, poss. died June 1919 Dover. He married Louisa Upton at St Dunstan and All Saints Stepney in August 1865 and is recorded at Cliffe St Margaret in the 1871 and 1881 censuses (Master Mariner). Previous to his marriage, in 1861 (census) he is recorded at the Sailors' Home, Well Street, Tower Hamlets; later, in 1901, in Poplar (162 East India Dock Road - as 'Head' but with another family with a 'Head' - still a Master Mariner. In 1911 census he is recorded as a boarder at 14 Hale Street Poplar - a Night Watchman (aged about 74). Louisa died possibly October 1912 in Dover area. At least 3 children: Sarah A (abt 1867), Louisa S E (abt 1868) and Robert M (abt 1870) - all born St Margaret's.

    If anyone knows where he voyaged to, ship(s) etc. or where i could find that info (nothing coming up in e.g. National Archives - although I may be searching wrongly) - then I would be very interested to hear about.

    Thank you.
