Recently commenced Family History but cannot fathom how to identify individual service records who served in Royal Navy Reserve, hoping for suggestions and or leads on this forum.
Have attempted to search Nat archives but their system is beyond me.
Name William James Helme
Born 1848 Preston Lancashire
Died 1910 Birenhead
So far identified
1848 b Preston 17th march
1874 appointed Honorary Lietenant Royal Naval Reserve - 28th April 1874
1877 maried Hannah Breakell in Liverpool Christ Church 29th August
1882 Awarded Egypt Medal - again unable to locate the entry in ther records - I have his medal & ribbon
1891 CensusRG12 P 3428 f 47 Living at Manor House Longton Preston
1908 Still on the Navy List as Hon Lieut William james Helme
1910 Died Birkenhead january.
So need some guidance as to how to locate WJH service record & hopefully any Naval records prior to 1874.
