Refer to "HMS1840London" in Wikipedia for my other contributions.

I first came across the word "Seedie" while researching my Royal Navy ancestor. The name appeared in the 1881 Census describing individuals onboard the HMS London while stationed in Zanzibar Bay East Africa. I tried to find the meaning of this word on the internet, but could not.

Being confused by this word, I then researched a reference to it from an old source.
