Could it be discharged? Jan, New Zealand Some of my rellies were in the Royal Navy. The enlistment details of one of them reads as follows: **George Robins aged 19y9m. 5'8". St Pancras Chichester. Dark brown hair; gey eyes, fresh complexionj. Horse dealer. Enlisted HQ Portsmouth. Dd 14 Aug 1850. Paid £20.** Can anyone tell me what Dd means please? I thought it could be died, but being paid £20 seems to go against this, unless it was paid to his family. The other thought was dismissed. Or maybe it is something else?
