If they were serving in the RN I think that you might find them on vessels - for later censuses (?) fishing fleet boats are listed too when they are in port. Hope this helps Abigail |

I downloaded my granfathers navy record last night from NA. Legend has it his ship was sunk in the battle of Jutland. From his record it appears he never went to sea! Seems to have spent all his time at training establishments! |
