I have just the received a death cert. for a relly that died on board HMS Orontes in 1878. Age 48.(b.1829/30 in Gosport)
Have been trying to find a service record on National Archives but am not to sure how to use this site. I have found a George Taylor b. Gosport but the date says 1860. Would this be the date he volunteered or is this a date of birth? Don't want to waste £3.50 on the wrong one but this is the only one I can find!
Any help appreciated. Thanks
