I subscribe to the Ancestry site and have interrogated their Irish records to find details of Arthur Gordon Torkington's parents. I know Arthur was born in Dublin on 12th July 1885, his father was William Edward Torkington (born circa 1852 in Dublin). The civil registration of births index confirms Arthur's birth but it depicts 'Index only record' so I cannot ascertain any further information, ie mother's name etc.
Arthur joined the Royal Navy on 25th January 1904 and served on various vessels until 9th July 1924.
Arthur married on 6th August 1913 at Hambledon, Surrey. Arthur's marriage certificate shows his father, William Edward Torkington, as being a Barrack Sergeant but I am unable to find further details about his life.
Arthur died on 13th October 1947.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated .......
