Hi Jen My Irish ancestor too was in the Royal Navy, but I only found out about that by searching census records. On the night of the 1861 census he was recorded as being onboard a Royal Navy vessel. A subsequent search of the National Archives showed nothing at all, but when I queried that with them, they said not all "batches" of data had been added to the website yet but it was still ongoing. 9 months later, I did the search again and found him. If you email the National Archives, they are very helpful and will point you to possible sources. Good luck Theresa -----Original Message----- From: genire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:genire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of jen Sent: 21 February 2010 23:47 To: genire@rootsweb.com Subject: How to find Naval records.
