I hope to find out more about George Marshall who married Elizabeth Young in 1851. On later census records Elizabeth is described as a pilot's widow. And William Purvis, another pilot, who I believe married Margaret Robinson in 1839. Both appear to have died before the 1861 census. Does anyone know where I can perhaps find out more about them and view any records of their service?

Two of his great uncles were on board The Protector when it was lost at sea in 1916. His grandmother was expecting her brothers to join her to celebrate the New Year. They didn't arrive. His great grandfather was also a pilot. Their name was Leslie. There is a photo of The Protector in South Shields Central Library - Local studies section. There is an inscription to the Protector's crew in St Stephen's church. I hope this helps. My husbands family were Tyne pilots.

My Grandfather John Swinny Bone was the duty Pilot on board the protector on the night it was sunk by a German U Boat. My GGreat Grandfather and at least two of his brothers in law where lost on the Providence. The Shields Gazette featured an article and a photo of the Protector a few years ago. Also as a matter of interest there is a painting in the Shelds art gallery of the Providence in action. Its titled "A wreck off the South Pier," dated 1861.

I was born in 1948 and lived at 22 Trajan street in South Shields for the first 7 years of my life, along with my grandmother Betty Brierley. I remember the Purvis family. I am presently researching into my family History, and believe that my great, great grandfather Thomas Stewart (1837 - 1876) was a Tyne pilot. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any information as to where I can research records of the Tyne pilot families. Thank you. I was very interested to read the above article.
