If not there are another 14 hits. Admiralty: Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services. Registers. Name Turner, Henry John. Official Number: 71013. Place of Birth: Plymouth, Devon. Date of Birth: 30 April 1849. http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=D6604111 You can follow his career from ships musters and pay books but these are not yet scanned so require a personal visit. These documents will also confirm whether the census records posed earlier are correct or whether he was on the high seas at the time of the census. Cheers Paul -----Original Message-----
