I am searching backwards for the family of Charles Nelson, English Rigger and Sailmaker born in the late 1830s, who jumped ship upon his arrival in New York during the 1850s. His death certificate says he was the son of Robert Nelson; no mother's name available.
Charles met an Irish woman in Brooklyn named Ellen Brassell, whom he married about 1855-60. They had children George T., Charles F., John, Charlotte, Jenny.
If anyone can help me locate records of British Navy seamen who ran or jumped ship, or is researching a family in Brooklyn with similar names, I would appreciate some help.
Thank you!
