This may be something or nothing!

Given that Albert Gent in 1911 is living at 7 Coast Guard Station East Preston Road Worthing.

Wondered if he was something to do with the Coast Guards?

Search on the NA Document online site in Registers of Seamen's Services http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/
finds

Name Gent, Albert
Official Number: 284130
Place of Birth: Lancashireing, Sussex
19 February 1877
ADM 188/455

Living in Sussex I have never heard of Lancashireing!
