Family History The
Carey Family At Pill; A Family Of Bristol Channel Pilots – Early
History The earliest Careys to establish themselves at Pill in Somerset (Easton-in-Gordano
or St. Georges as it has variously been called) are believed to be William
and Mary Carey. William Carey married
Mary Gilmore on 27th. February 1794 at the church of St. Philip & Jacob
Bristol (we are almost sure that this is the correct marriage – there
are no others between a William Carey and a Mary at around this time and
place). St Philip & Jacob, Bristol 27 Feb 1794 William Carey of this parish and Mary Gillmore of
this parish were married by Banns Both parties marked with a X Witnesses were Jeremiah David (FW), William Watkins (FW) and ?..an Rogers [FW = Frequent Witness] We then have in the Easton-In-Gordano Copy Register (Somerset Record Office - some pages are missing from the main register) baptisms for the children of William and Mary: Easton in Gordano copy register 1790-1807 3 May 1795 John

Carey Ham Green 58 Census Data for Mariners The 1841 census
recorded seamen on shore, at the time of the census, but not those on board
ship, docked in ports of moored in rivers etc. so some of the Carey pilots
are not recorded in this census. The 1851 census recorded seamen on board ships, in port or docked in rivers, for the first time. They were enumerated by the Master and collected by the local Officer of Customs, whose duty it was to submit the records. The Registry General for Shipping & Seamen (RGSS) had a similar responsibility for the enumeration of ships at sea, within territorial waters. The 1861 census recorded seamen on board all ships in port or docked in rivers and returns were submitted to the Officer of Customs. The RGSS assumed responsibility for those at sea in territorial waters and for the first time, those 'on the high seas.' The 1871, 1881 and 1891 census returns
were filed as in 1861, following the ordinary census records, for the port at
which the ship was docked on census night, or to which it returned, following
its voyage. 1841 Census The family of John
