The Jersey Merchant Seamen's Benefit Society was created by the States of Jersey in 1835 when the English compulsory levy of sixpence per month from every Merchant Seaman's pay was abolished. The contribution was 71/2d. per month, beginning on July 1 1835. The ship's Master was authorised to collect the contributions by direct deduction from pay. The books can be found at the Société Jersiaise Library. There is no equivalent record for Guernsey. They detail the service of each seaman member and his contribution to the welfare fund. The names of his ships, the length of service in each, his parish of origin and age are recorded. The set (with some gaps) are now only available on microfilm. The index to these records appears in a different set of books and here you are handling the originals. Another book gives details of pensions payable to disabled members and, on their death, to their families and one final set (also with gaps) details the ships and their compliments.The following information has been extracted from the indexes and work will continue into looking at the microfilms to fill in the missing details which will be added to this page.For an image of an actual microfilmed entry see further down on this page The above information is taken from Alex Glendinnings site which contains more general info and a visit is well reccommended to this award winning site which you can find at http://www.societe-jersiaise.org/alexgle/JMSBS.html JERSEY MERCHANT SEAMANS BENEFIT SOCIETY RECORDS---VIBERT
