  • Index to the Captains Register of Lloyds of London
    Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London: B (CLC/B/148/B/019/ MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives Introduction This document contains an alphabetical index to the Lloyds of London Captains registers which are held at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The Registers give details of the careers as captain and/or mate, on those vessels whose voyage details were transmitted to Lloyd's of London, of merchant sea captains who held British or British colonial master's certificates. By no means were all Captains British citizens. For further details please see LMA information leaflet 'Lloyd's of London "Captains Registers" and related sources', available from the LMA website. These indexes are for the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567, covering the years 1869 (retrospective to 1851 for those masters and mates still sailing in 1869)-1911; captains still active after that date will be found in later series held at LMA which are not covered by these indexes. The indexes may also be consulted in LMA's Information Area. The indexes list captains by name, noting variants given, followed by date and place of birth, also noting variants. The certificate number, and its place and date of award, if known, are listed, with a note of changes in the number and the volume in which this first occurs. Not all this information is found in every volume: in some entries a captain may be known only by his initials, or his birthplace may be listed in a partial form. If information of this kind, such as date of birth, is not given in the indexes, it is not to be found in the original.

LIMITED. PREFATORY NOTE. iiST'T'jf.O An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Mariaime French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The PubHc Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete.

    Hertford College News Issue 12 Spring/Summer 2005 Feature: Hertford Students in Japan Roy Stuart dies p.10 Arson attack on boathouse p.5 Recent Old Member Publications Boudica and The Man in the Iron Mask p.11 Principal’s Column ONE of the idiosyncrasies of University life is that its annual cycle is so out of kilter with the natural seasons. By the time this column reaches you the trees will be turning brown here in Oxford, but the academic garden will be sprout- ing green shoots as we prepare to wel- come a new generation of Freshers. This annual event has special significance for me this year since - thirty years after leaving Hertford as a new graduate - I find myself once more a Fresher here, albeit a Fresher residing in the Principal’s Lodgings rather than O.B.5. Much has changed in thirty years. Simpkins is comfortably settled into his third life, and the College boasts a third quadrangle, on Holywell Street, as well as substantial accommodation away from the main site. Its finances are on a much sounder footing than they once were. Much, though, remains the same – the spirit of innovation that led Hertford to seek excellence in candi- dates regardless of social background, and placed it in the first group of under- graduate Colleges to go mixed, still thrives. We now lead the way in the generation of income from English lan- guage teaching and other foreign pro- grammes as the traditional sources of higher education funding become increasingly problematic. One thing that has certainly not changed is our commitment to academ- ic excellence, and this year’s Final Honour School results were our best yet.
