Title: Navy service personnel
Post by: angloscot on Wednesday 20 May 09 14:48 BST (UK)

Hi Can anyone help me with the following.
   I have reason to believe  that a relative of mine served in the navy sometime between 1851-1871.
   Are there any records of service history covering this period  that I can Search ?.
 
  Regards
  Alex
