MS and Printed Application Forms (772-109)<br />

<strong>The</strong>se documents apparently served the Deputy Governor and<br />

Governors as bring-up data on the status of applications for<br />

current reference. Each document combines application details<br />

from seamen and shipwrights although both categories are usually<br />

separately recorded on the forms.<br />

<strong>The</strong> usual information supplied in connection with each<br />

candidate^ application varies according <strong>to</strong> the period, but usually<br />

includes date of application, name and whether married, years of<br />

birth of applicant and wife (or ages of applicant and wife last<br />

birthday), address and observations, usually relating <strong>to</strong> physical<br />

and mental health and service in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines<br />

and H.M. Dockyards, last rating, number of dependent children,<br />

number of years service at sea or in harbour, character, pension<br />

details, and details of other income.<br />

It appears that some of these documents were compiled<br />

retrospectively, perhaps from deleted bring-up forms which were<br />

then destroyed. <strong>The</strong> applications therefore include renewed<br />

applications.<br />

It should be noted that details of the admission of candidates are<br />

also contained in the Minutes (/21-24)<br />

(Items 112-1A and 80 are individual applications, and items<br />

115-16 are <strong>list</strong>s of pensioners only
