Hi all,
me again, Merry had ben helping me with this, good on Merry but I'm a little stuck on something and she thougth you igh be able to help. Basically I bought and downloaded a military record for one John William Gardiner born Pimlico 1855, righ name, age and place. Merry was almost sure it is my John William. What is stumping me though is on his record is says that, from the period of 14th Feb 1882 to 11th November 1884 he was serving on the HMS Hercules yet on the marraige cert it says tht when he was married 5th July 1884 his 'residence' at the time was HMS Revenue Cutter Chance. Surely he can't be in two places at once? Wondering if anyone could shed any light?
Cheers
