Please would anyone with access to Yarmouth Newspapers be so kind as to look up H.M.S. Minotaur with ref. to Christopher Brewer (sailmaker) 22/23 Dec 1810 Eagerly awaiting reply as it's playing on my mind and can't find if he drowned or was taken prisoner. I have his will dated 1812. Thanking you in anticipation.
I would also like to know when he joined Minotaur. So as to confirm which wars he was in. (I have records he was in The Battle of Trafalgar)
Regards George

Which Yarmouth?

And do you have reason to think that this info is on line?

You should not post more than ONE request per topic.......as per site guidelines

People waste valuable time looking for info which has already been sought by others.

Sometimes you have to accept that answers can't be found..............

Have you tried the Norfolk Records office?

A quick search of British newspapers online does not give any relevant results.
