Hi all.
I am now tracing my grandmother, Ellen Casey (possibly Helen), who married Fred Robert Carrier in 1915.
Her mother was Elizabeth Casey, born about 1864 in Devonport, who married Edward John Casey. Elizabeth's father was John A Nicholson, born about 1835 in Plymouth. I have traced him back to the 1871 census, where he is shown as married, living in Portsmouth and serving on HMS Excellent, a gunnery training ship.
I cannot find him earlier than this, so I wondered if he was serving on a ship and away from the UK. Does anyone have any information to help me? Any information, especially ships name etc., would be very welcome.
Thanks for any assistance,
Bob (Carrier).
