Hi

I am having trouble finding information about my great great grandad - Henry Charles Bridger (born 1825), I have found his marriage, child but am having problems finding much out about his seaman days - he drowned at sea on the Adria and I have found another record which says that he was aboard the HMS Pearl but I am not sure where I can find out more information.

Any help/tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks :-D
