  • Sailor in 1911 Census how do I find him?

    I have Jacob Kelly's wife and sons in the 1911 census in Plymouth , in what sounds like admiralty property but no sign of him, it is thought that he was in the royal Navy, he was born in 1887. Where do I look to find him please?

    If you are searching on Findmypast you can select Royal Navy at Sea in the county drop down listing.

    Do you know where he was born?

        There is a Royal Navy record for a Jacob Kelly born Laxey, Isle of Man on the documentsonline website, although dob is given as 3 Jul 1885, but of course he could have lied about his age! You can download the record for £3.50

            Just an update the service record was for my Jacob and he lied to get in the Navy, he was only 10, when he should have been 12!!!.. I have managed to find his parents and grandparents too on the Isle of Man. Thanks for the help.
