These Petitions, originally in date order, had providentially been presented to the Society of Genealogists by the Corporation of Trinity House in 1934. They were sorted into alphabetical order and bound into 102 volumes. Additional petitions were then found, sorted and bound into eleven volumes. The Society of Genealogists published a calendar of the two series (most often giving the name and age of the petitioner, the name of the spouse, residence and year) with an index of surnames as ''The Trinity House Petitions: a calendar of the records of the Corporation of Trinity House, London, in the library of the Society of Genealogists ''(1987) [FS Library book 942 U3]. The volume may be consulted for fees online at http://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/trinity-house-calendars/. The Petitions were microfilmed [FS Library films 395554-395610] and the originals are now at the London Metropolitan Archives but ‘Not available for general access’. | These Petitions, originally in date order, had providentially been presented to the Society of Genealogists by the Corporation of Trinity House in 1934.

Received by the Society with the Petitions were a group of apprenticeship indentures of seamen, 1780 and 1818-45 (mentioned above), and a group of miscellaneous papers, mostly baptismal and marriage certificates, which seem to relate to pension and almshouse applications made between 1790 and 1890, the majority in the period 1830-80. Short abstracts of the indentures and of these other documents were made and published in the printed calendar mentioned above.

Registers of the almspeople and of those who received pensions from 1729 to 1946, giving their ages and the reason assistance was given, which were retained at Trinity House (where those before 1775 could not be found in 1934) are now at the London Metropolitan Archives. They are indexed for 1907-39 only. There is a second indexed series of the almspeople only 1845-1971 giving similar details. Both series are on restricted access. | Registers of the almspeople and of those who received pensions from 1729 to 1946, giving their ages and the reason assistance was given, which were retained at Trinity House (where those before 1775 could not be found in 1934) are now at the London Metropolitan Archives.
