The latest info I have is John HOSE was made a lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1817 and seems to have been based in St Peter Port Guernsey and near Mostyn in Norfolk. The 3 children I am fairly certain as those of John Hose and Malvina Jane Sharpe (unknown) are
John William Danson Hose 1823 born unknown
Adelaide Malinna (or Malvina) 1829 born Norfolk
Stanton 1830 born Norfolk
John HOSE dies (we think) 2/6/1834 (I still await some papers from National Archives to prove this)
Was there a Naval base near Mostyn, Norfolk ?
Are there separate records for Naval marriages and babtisms as the Prieux Library on Guernsey cannot help?
