picture 2 . Royal Naval Surgeon or Physicians (at sea) 1795-1805

picture 3 . British or Canadian ? merchant Navy ?

I just looked thru my button book and those look very much like the early 1813 us navy buttons. I will be interested to see what some of the other folks here think. Regards.

You have correctly ID them.. the first one it is a Royal Naval Hospitals tunic button (with no back-mark and no crown is from 1820-1849) the 2nd one is a Royal Naval Surgeon that was used from 1805-1825.
