A second Nova Scotian on the Franklin expedition? Discoveries from the probate records

In May of 1845 the Franklin expedition departed England in search of the Northwest Passage. The expedition was last sighted by European eyes in July of 1845, as its two ships, Erebus and Terror, awaited entrance into Lancaster Sound. There were 129 men aboard. None would survive.

Worry began to arise back in England when the expedition hadn’t been heard from, until finally search parties were sent out in hopes of rescuing the lost men. After almost a decade of searching, a notice was posted in the 19 Jan 1854 edition of the London Gazette. If no intelligence on the fate of the men was received before March 31st of that year, then the crew would be considered dead, their wages would cease, and “all persons legally entitled, and qualifying themselves to claim the pay and wages then due, will be paid the same on application to the Accountant-General of Her Majesty's Navy.” 

No signs of the men still living were found. On March 31, 1854, the men of the Franklin Expedition were declared dead.

With the men now considered dead, their wages could finally be paid out to their long-mourning families. And, with this estate distribution, came record-keeping and documentation — a boon to genealogists such as myself. 

 

0. A Personal Note

Before we get further into it, just a personal note: I intended to update this blog on a more frequent schedule, but the last six months have been somewhat crazy, and unfortunately I haven't so much as looked at anything genealogy-related in months. I owe several lovely people some extremely delayed correspondence, so if you are one of them, I apologize. I finally have some time and energy now, so I'm going back through my lengthy to-do list, starting with this. I've been meaning to post my collection of probate records since spring of 2025, so this is very overdue. 

I did have a few fun Franklin expedition-related things come up since my last post. I had the pleasure of giving a virtual talk on my genealogy to the University of Waterloo donor communities a couple of weeks ago. I was also invited to the opening of the HMS Erebus exhibition at the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, though sadly I wasn't able to attend — if you're near Pembroke, go check it out when it reopens! I'd like to try and make it to the UK next year, so hopefully that'll work out and I can see the exhibition then.

And lastly, I made a promise to myself when I started this whole identification thing in 2024 that I would travel to the Arctic Circle if I succeeded, and so this past September I visited Greenland! I spent some time in Disko Bay, one of the last places the Franklin expedition was sighted before entering the Canadian Arctic.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. 

 

1. Introduction to Probate Records

Only a small portion of the crew had written a will before setting sail. For the rest, it went to court, and an administrator would be chosen to distribute their estate. 

The applications for the unpaid wages of deceased seamen without a will are collected in the Seamen’s Effects Papers. The papers contain information on the claimant, the judgment, and sometimes supporting documentation, such as a copy of the sailor's baptismal record or marriage certificate.

Seamen's Effects Papers, The National Archives, ADM 44. 1854, John Bridgens. Excerpt from the claimant's application page.

After the judgement, summaries of the issued grants of administration were recorded in the Administration Act Books, which give the name of the administrator and what their relationship was to the deceased. 

Administration Act Books, The National Archives, PROB 6. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 25 October 1854. 

Similarly, the Probate Act Books give a summary for granted wills. Both books are not the most descriptive probate records, but, fortunately, there are others.

With estate inheritance comes inheritance taxes. The probate courts processed wills and administrations and sent copies to Inland Revenue, who used this information to create the Death Duty Register, a record of the death duty paid on estates. According to The National Archives, this register is “one of family history’s best kept secrets.” 

After going through these records, I concur. They and the Seamen's Effects Papers offer a trove of information on some of the lesser-known members of the Franklin expedition. Many of the men who had no prior naval service were practically ghosts, with little to no information known about them. Those who did not allot any of their salary were only represented by a name, a birthplace, and an age in the muster book, which wasn’t that much to go off of. But now with these records we get the name and address of at least one family member, which gives us a place to start when attempting to find more information about a sailor.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1854, Folio 297.

These are not the only types of probate records that the National Archives holds, but they are the only ones that I found that were accessible online (kind of). I set a goal for myself to try to collect as many of these probate records as I could for genealogical research, and I'm sharing my collection online now in the hopes that it aids future research. The collection can be downloaded here. A spreadsheet with my detailed transcriptions of the records can be found here, and I've also summarized them in my genealogy spreadsheet here. I've also posted an abbreviated table of my transcriptions at the bottom of this post.

 

2. What We Can Learn

2.1 Statistics 

I’ve been able to locate some form of probate record for 122 of the 129 men who died on the expedition. The seven who have not been located are Henry Lloyd (Erebus), Charles Johnson (Terror), Robert Hopcraft (Erebus), William Jerry (Terror), and the three found on Beechey Island: John Hartnell (Erebus), John Torrington (Terror), and William Braine (Erebus). 

Every judgment I have found so far was from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, which was the highest and busiest court in the country.

Here are some statistics:

• Of the 122 I’ve found, 16 had wills; the remaining 106 had administrations.
• 107 men had their probate settled in 1854 when they were first considered dead. 10 were in 1855. Just one, Graham Gore, was in 1856. Four had their probate settled after 1856.
• The smallest estate paid out was £200 (multiple Boys, ABs, and Stewards). The largest was £10,000 (Captain James Fitzjames).
• Most probate files listed what the relation of the administrator/executor was to the sailor, but some did not, and of those that did, some were somewhat vague. For example, some specified the relation being that the administrator was the executor of the sailor’s father’s estate, without clarifying what their actual relation was to the sailor. Of those administrators/executors with a clear relation specified, there were:
• 36 widows
• 18 mothers
• 18 brothers
• 17 fathers
• 11 sisters
• 3 children or children’s guardians
• 3 cousins
• 1 nephew
• 1 aunt
• 1 friend
• 73 of the probate files specified additional beneficiaries of the estate, outside of the administrator/executor.
• 110 records specified the marital status of the deceased. Of those: 65 were bachelors, 42 were married, and 3 were widowers.
• 42 men had a name in these records that differed from their name as given in the muster book, whether that was due to a different spelling, the inclusion of a middle name, or the use of an alias.

 

2.2 Outliers 

I mentioned above that four men had their probate settled after 1856. One of those outliers is Charles Frederick Des Voeux. He is counted among those who had an estate administered in 1854; his entry in the Death Duty Register shows his father, Henry, as administrator in 1854, with his estate amounting to 1500 pounds. However, there’s a second probate administration record for him in 1858, showing his estate was re-sworn for 4000 pounds.

The other three outliers are James Hart in 1864, James Daly in 1869, and William Mark in 1873, a whole nineteen years after the crew was declared dead. 

The reason for such a long delay in the handling of William Mark’s estate is unclear; it went to his sister, Elizabeth Porter. 

It’s clearer for the other two — it seems they only had distant family left. James Hart (his full name is given as James Bean Hart) is described as a bachelor without parents, and his estate went to a nephew named William Hart. James Daly is described as being without parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, nephews, or nieces. His estate went to a cousin named Margaret McCulla of Birmingham.

England and Wales changed how they handled estates in 1858, so the documentation for these four differs from what was outlined above. Probate files from 1858+ in England can be acquired by the paid government service Probate Search. I bought the files for James Hart, James Daly, and William Mark, but not for Charles Frederick Des Voeux. Unfortunately, in the last year the service has gone from $3 to $30 CAD; I hadn’t bought his before the price increase, and am not interested in spending that much to buy it now.

 

2.3 Provenance 

The most unexpected finds in these records have been the provenance of two sailors, Charles Best and William Clossan. 

Knowing where someone was born and raised is important. It can assist us in finding baptism and census records, letting us know more about a specific sailor and their family. It also has implications in scientific tests such as isotope analysis, which looks at the isotopes of tooth enamel to try and determine where a person lived as a child. 

The muster books tell us that all but two sailors hailed from the British Isles; Charles Johnson from Nova Scotia, and Henry Lloyd from Norway (both of whom I was not able to find probate records for). However, probate records reveal that able seamen Charles Best and William Clossan were also born outside the British Isles — Clossan from Denmark, and Best from Nova Scotia, like his fellow sailor Johnson.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1855, Folio 227.

I’ve already spoken on Clossan here. I’m currently researching Charles Best and hope to write more about him at length sometime in the next year or two. He’s listed in the muster as being from Fareham, Hants — with Hants being a common way of shortening the county of Hampshire in England. In actuality, this was some sort of clerical error, and he was from Hants County, Nova Scotia. There’s extensive documentation on both his maternal and paternal family that I’m sifting through, and I’m able to research him more thoroughly and personally than any other sailor thus far. As well, I got to hold my first in-person research outing on a recent vacation in Nova Scotia, visiting the province's archives and spots the Best family was connected to. If you happen to be near Wolfville, take a quick trip to the Randall House Museum — Charles' mother ran a school for ladies out of it in the 1840's. I still have a lot of material to sort through on the Best family, but expect more on them from me later.

2.4 Families

I mentioned before that these records can be useful in finding out more about lesser-known sailors. For example, the register reveals that the actual given name of George Kinnaird, an able seaman on the HMS Terror, is George Gosbee Kennard. Knowing his full name enables us to pinpoint the correct records for him and discover more about his family. The register describes him as a “bachelor and bastard.” He was one of two illegitimate sons of Judith Kennard, along with his brother Charles Gosbee Kennard. He was baptized on 23 Jan 1820 in Guestling, Sussex. No father was named on his baptism.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1854, Folio 506.

George’s mother Judith later married a man named George Venis on 24 Jun 1827. They gave George two half-sisters, though one, Fanny, died in infancy. Judith was the administrator of his estate. I was able to trace down the descendants of his remaining half-sister until the final qualifying descendant died twenty years ago in Waterloo, Ontario — the home of the Franklin expedition DNA identification research.

Another example of a crew member we can investigate further is Samuel Brown. He was a Boatswain’s Mate aboard HMS Erebus. According to the muster, he was born in Hull, Yorkshire, sometime around 1818. He had a wife named Mary Brown, whom he married shortly before departure on 07 Apr 1845 in St. Georges Cathedral in Southwark, a Roman Catholic church. He had allotted part of his salary to said wife, who at the time lived in Woolwich. More information about his family was extremely difficult to discover given the commonality of his surname. However, the beneficiaries of his estate give us a hint. Half of his estate went to his widow. A quarter of his estate went to his mother, Ann Gibson. The final quarter of his estate was split between two people, Ann “Laing” and Samuel Rhodes. Their relation is given as the abbreviation DS, which means the descendant of a sister.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1854, Folio 234.

With this, we can find out more about him and his family. Samuel Brown was born in Drypool, a village on the east bank of the River Hull. He was baptized there on 22 Oct 1817. His parents were Samuel Brown and Ann Brown (née Cammish). His father was a mariner. They had one other child, a daughter named Jane, who was baptized in Drypool on 17 Jan 1821.

Samuel’s mother Ann was born about 1798 in Filey, Yorkshire, to parents Joseph Cammish and Ann Hardy. Samuel Brown is known to have used the alias William Hardy — perhaps he was close to his maternal grandmother’s family?

Ann married Samuel Brown Sr on 5 Mar 1816 in Drypool. After Samuel Brown Sr’s death sometime between 1821 and 1828, she remarried to a labourer named George Gibson in Drypool on 11 Aug 1828. This matches the surname for her in the Death Duty Register.

In the 1851 and 1861 censuses, she and her second husband were caring for their grandson, Samuel Rhodes. Recall that Samuel Rhodes was also a beneficiary in the death duty register. He was the son of Samuel’s sister Jane and her second husband, William Rhodes. The final beneficiary was Ann Leng, the daughter of Jane and her first husband, William Leng. 

These are just quick examples of how the records can be used to find out more information about a sailor's family. I've been using them for my genealogy work, and they've been the key to tracking down descendants of several of the people I've researched, such as John Bridgens and David Young. 

 

2.5 Errors

These records are not without errors or uncertainties. Thomas Jopson, a Captain’s Steward, is instead described as a petty officer and a Captain of the Hold, and his name is occasionally misspelled as “Thomas Jackson.” Yet his family details are correct. We know his father's name, William Jopson, is right, because he was also listed in the allotments. Baptism, marriage, and census records prove he did have a sister named Mary who married Samuel Pratt, a machinist.

Administration Act Books, The National Archives, PROB 6. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 31 July 1854.

In the Administration Act Books, George Henry Hodgson is described as having a widow named “Mary”; however, I don’t believe there’s any evidence he had married, and I think this was a clerical error and it was meant to refer to his mother, whose name was Mary.

On the reverse, John Diggle is described as a bachelor despite having married (likely they were separated). Heartbreakingly, his daughter was left out of his estate. She’d written a letter about it that was included in his Seaman’s Effects Papers file.

The National Archives, Seamen's Effects Papers, ADM 44. 1854, John Diggle.

There’s another uncertain marriage. Philip Reddington, Erebus’ Captain of the Forecastle, had allotted part of his salary to his wife Elizabeth (née Turner), whom he had married on Christmas of 1844. However, the probate records list his widow’s name as Lavinia, not Elizabeth. And there’s what appears to be a matching record for a marriage to Lavinia Smith in 1836, prior to his marriage to Elizabeth Turner. Is it possible he separated from Lavinia, remarried illegally, and Elizabeth was hung out to dry due to that bigamous marriage?

3. A Brief Guide to Accessing These Records

As I said above, I've posted all of the probate records I’ve been able to find online in the hopes of aiding further research on these men. However, I thought I’d outline more information on where to find these records, in case you would like to verify them yourself, or find the records for other individuals from the same era.

Most of them can only be accessed online through FamilySearch centres. FamilySearch is a Mormon-based genealogy website, so in my experience these centres consist of a computer room within a LDS church. My local centre is only open two hours a week, so I’ve spent many weeks putting this collection together. I’m not a religious person and didn’t love the thought of spending my spare time in a church, but my experience there so far has been entirely positive. It’s never felt “missionary” — the only discussion happening is about peoples’ various genealogy adventures, no preaching.

The National Archives provides a guide for finding records pre-1858 here, though it is incomplete.

3.1 Wills

All wills prior to 1858 can be found online for free at the National Archives. The vast majority of wills are in PROB 11, but Franklin and Peddie’s wills were also part of PROB 1, a collection that contains the wills of selected famous persons. 

3.2  Death Duty Register

These records are available in person at the National Archives under IR 26, and the indexes are under IR 27. Both IR 26 and IR 27 include both wills and administrations. The indexes are also available online on Findmypast. The National Archives website says the actual records have not been digitized; however, digital versions are available on FamilySearch if accessed from within a FamilySearch centre. Some folios are missing from their digital collection.

3.6 Principal Probate Registry (1858+)

Probate records from 1858 onwards can be purchased from the website ProbateSearch. The search interface on that site can sometimes be finicky; it’s usually easier to find the index on Ancestry or Findmypast first.

 

4. A Brief Guide to Understanding These Records

4.1  The Death Duty Register 

The National Archives provides two guides to understanding the Death Duty Register. One is Death duties 1796-1903 guide, the other is Death and taxes: understanding the death duty registers. The latter is a general overview of the records, and the former goes more in depth.

The scanned records consist of folios that span two pages. For administrations, each folio contains entries for six individuals. For the record snippet below, showing sailors Thomas Johnson and Robert Johns, we can see the folio number, 255, at the top left corner.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1854, Folio 255. Page 1.

On the first page of the folio, it lists:

• The name of the court, the date of administration, and who extracted this record for the Death Duty Register. The court is the PCC, or Prerogative Court of Canterbury, for every sailor I’ve found. For the men of the Franklin expedition, this will also typically say "Died on or since July 1845."
• The sum the estate was sworn under, aka the estimated maximum amount of the estate’s value in pounds.
• The name and description of the deceased. Conveniently, every description I’ve found lists that a sailor was aboard HMS Erebus or HMS Terror, meaning we can’t mistake them for someone else with the same name who died the same year. It will usually also mention if the sailor was a bachelor.
• The name of the administrator. In the records above, Ann Johnson is the administrator of Thomas Johnson, and Jemima Johns is the administrator of Robert Johns.
• The residence and occupation of the administrator. For women, instead of occupation it typically lists Widow, Spinster, or, if they are married, their husband's name and occupation. This column also includes two “sureties” – people who attested for the administrator. For Jemima, it appears they are neighbours. For Ann, we can see Ann was the widow of Thomas’ father, and the sureties are the same as they were for his father’s records, so we’d have to find that to see the sureties for Thomas Johnson. 

Very often the final column of this page is faint and hard to read at the edge. Sometimes the scan of the second page catches the edge of the first, and it can be easier to read there. We can also see a snippet of the second page in the scan of the first page, and sometimes the first column of the second page is easier to read on the first page.

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administrations, 1854, Folio 255. Page 2.

On the second page of the folio, it lists:

• How the administrator is related to the deceased. For Thomas Johnson it gives no relation; we know she’s the relict of his father from the first page, meaning she’s either his biological mother or stepmother. For Robert Johns, Jemima is his widow.
• Who is entitled to his estate. This will be the administrator, and sometimes additional people. For Thomas Johnson, we can see it was his father, Thomas Johnson Sr, who died after Thomas Johnson would have, but before the administration was granted in 1854, hence why Thomas Johnson Sr’s administrator is entitled to Thomas Johnson Jr’s estate. For Robert Johns, we can see his estate was divided between Jemima and Robert Henry Johns. Often, if there are many beneficiaries, it will only list the first few and then just note that there were so many more
• What the relation of the beneficiaries was to the deceased. We can see Robert Henry Johns was the son of Thomas Johnson. Sometimes this is an abbreviation – e.g. DS for “Descendant of a sister” – in that case it’s wise to consult the National Archives guide linked above.
• Description of property. I don’t pay much attention to this field. Often it will contain a reference number starting with RA that refers to a residuary account, which we can see it does for both Johnson and Johns below. These correspond to IR 19 and IR 59 collections at the National Archives; however, most of these have been destroyed, and I’m unsure if any relating to the expedition exist.
• The share of entitlement. We can see that for Johns his wife had ⅓ and his son had ⅔.
• The rest of the fields on this page describe the duty owed. Spouses were typically exempt. 

The register for wills looks different. It’s also two pages, but the scan includes both pages in one file. Each person has two rows of information. The top row includes the name of the executor, but no relation column, so most of the time that is not specified. The second row lists more information on the legatees, who are the individuals named in the will. Because the actual wills are available online to read for free, this record is less useful than the one for administrators. The folio number is the one pencilled in at the top left of the page; in this case, it’s 454. 

Death Duty Register, The National Archives, IR 26. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Wills, 1854, Folio 454.

 

4.2 The Administration Act Books/The Probate Act Books

The entries for administrations and the entries for wills are formatted in a similar way. Each contains a brief paragraph description of the grant. To the left, it gives the amount it was sworn under, aka the estimated maximum value of the estate in pounds. Sometimes there are adjustments and a new amount will be pencilled in later, as we can see is the case for Charles Frederick Des Voeux. Similarly to the Death Duty Register, it gives the ship each sailor was on, so we can be sure we’re looking at the right person. It gives the name of the individual who was granted administration/executor, their relationship to the deceased, and usually their occupation.

Administration Act Books, The National Archives, PROB 6. Prerogative Court of Canterbury, July 1854 (Des Voeux, Downing, Dunn).

In some cases it may, instead of a paragraph, just say something like “Limited Admon entered at length.” This means there is a longer entry for the deceased in the Limited Act Book, PROB 7 or PROB 9. Joseph Andrews, Daniel Bryant, and Samuel Crispe all have such entries. 

 

4.3 Seaman’s Effects Papers

This is a document containing multiple pages for each individual. It always contains a page for the claimant's application, and the judgment. Sometimes supporting documentation, such as a copy of a baptism or marriage record, is included. In the case of John Diggle, it also includes a letter from his daughter, and the letter sent back by the Inspector of Seamen’s Wills in return.

5. The Data

Below is my attempt at transcribing and compiling the probate records. This can be viewed in Google Sheets here, where I also have more specific details on each type of record. The basic details can also be found on my starter genealogy Google Sheet here. Once again, you can download my full collection here.

One question mark was used if I was unsure of my transcription of a word. Three question marks were used to mark a word that I really couldn't read at all.

Hopefully this will be of use to others researching the members of the Franklin expedition. I don't own these records, so feel free to use them and share them as you see fit.

Special thanks FamilySearch for hosting the probate records, and to Liz, who runs my local FamilySearch centre.
