Examples of Greenwich Hospital ‘In Pensions’ for Past Warrant Officers and Representatives of the Lower Deck
Source: PRO: ADM 73/63 - Seamen (and Marines) In and Out pensions for ratings 1863-69 (also see out pensions)
This is one of two volumes relating to compilation between 1863 to 1869. The cataloguing is rather confusing, as the index forms the other volume of this series (ADM 73/64). I have asked the PRO to amend their catalogues.

Externally indexed, this is an useful volume for establishing the fate of those becoming in pensioners. The entry number is required from the index to locate the relevant information in the register. There is one minor weakness, there are no ranks or rates shown, so in the case of men with common names, numerous searches may be required.
