Greetings,
A year or so ago I got referred round in circles trying to find any records so I threw my notes out in disgust. John was born 1827 near Plymouth, was in the Coastguards in Kent in 1853 where he married; son #2 born 1857 near Plymouth and John is dead by 1861 census. So - are there records that may throw some light on him? If so, I'd appreciate directions (left hand down a bit!) to find them.
Some of his family claim he was in the RN and died in Alverstoke but I have my doubts, hence my query.
With thanks,
SS
