What was it like to be impressed into the Royal Navy in England in the 1740s?

Did the Navy attempt to verify the identities of impressed sailors? Were families informed of what had happened to them, or were the sailors allowed to write home? If an impressed sailor died or was lost at sea, would the Navy make an effort to find and contact the family? Or did people quite literally just disappear without a trace, sometimes never to return?
