Superannuation paid to Warrant Officers
Source: PRO: ADM 181/18 - (Commissioned Officers) Masters, Surgeons and Pursers 1708-1811
The records in this class reflect reports made in relation to putting the annual Naval Estimates before Parliament. In relation to superannuation, this volume covers masters, surgeons, pursers, boatswains, carpenters and cooks. Not yet researched (by me), it may therefore be that this information will also be shown in the Naval Estimates themselves in Parliamentary papers.

The series in total runs from 1793 to 1821, but apparently the entries are only indexed (externally) from 1818 onwards. Therefore, the volume viewed straddles both and is hideously complex. It deals not only with superannuation, but also many other types of pension and although entered in similar types I have not been able to positively identify one specifically relating to superannuation. This would require researching the dates of the Admiralty Orders for individuals, something as yet, I have not had cause to do.
