The National Archives at Kew has released next of kin claims for unpaid Royal Naval pensions records from 1830-1860, as held in Admiralty records series ADM 45. From the site:
These records are applications for the unpaid wages or pensions of deceased officers or their widows. The records, in series ADM 45, cover officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, and civilian employees of the Royal Navy and Naval Dockyards.
The full story is at http://nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/831.htm with appropriate link to search from.
