The ships he was assigned to were, in order:

Minotaur, Asia, Northumberland ( which took him to Egypt ), Asia, Rupert, Asia, Northumberland, Crocodile, Boscawen.

Asia was the flagship at Portsmouth to which he was nominally assigned many times.

Ooooh thank you so much! I really appreciate this help. I can do some research on those now and get them added  ;D

I think it says Portsmouth Division the last entry when he died. So probably in Eastney barracks.

Martin

Eastney Barracks? Brilliant thank you so much

He was a Royal Marine. Which bits do you not understand?
Thank you!

Mostly the ships he was on, and when especially the one he was serving on when he died thats at the bottom.. mostly that big section in the middle. My eye sight is not the best amd im struggling to read it :-[ I can see Minotaur but I already knew about that ship so I found that one a teeny bit easier

Basically I'm just struggling to read the cursive handwriting, it's not something I'm used to reading so any help would be appreciated.

Really hope this attaches!

So i have this record for a distant relative and I was hoping those who can read this handwriting would be able to give me more information off of this document.

I have his name (Henry Bibby), d.o.b (1861) and place of birth (Coggeshall Essex), so I know its the right person, I was hoping more for everything else; theres a great big chunk of it i really dont understand and I was hoping to add each ship and the dates and any extra info to ancestry

Thank you for any help!
