Catalogue description FOREIGN YARDS

Reports from the Commissioners or Superintendents of those overseas yards important enough to have them, and from the Storekeepers or Clerks-in-Charge of the smaller establishments (Victualling Yards included). The papers of Sir Jahleel Branton as Commissioner of Simonstown, 1815-1822, are in ADM 7/2-6.

When using the ADM 12 indexes to search for papers in ADM 1, documents in this sub-sub-series have the following reference: 'Commr. Ab.' for letters from the commissioners. In addition, letters addressed from the yards had the following references and might also be found here: 'For Yd.', 'Ber. Yd.', 'Malta Yd.', 'Gib. Yd.'.
