This is one of the errors on the Ancestry index. Anyone on a vessel in a home port in Britain is given the registration district Anglesey, sub-registration district Holyhead. You have to go on Civil Parish 'Vessels', Town 'Dock', County Lancashire - which is not a great deal better. At least you know they were somewhere in Lancashire and it's much better than the many boatman who get missed off the census altogether. |

I've looked at the adjoining 'piece' (4506), which lists the vessels as being in Queen Dock, Liverpool. The reg'n district is recorded as Anglesey, as per 4507........ However, when checking 4508, the vessels are in Barrow Harbour. So, not conclusive, I'm afraid...........although I would say they were definitely in Lancashire Reg |
