Edwin KELLY - Coast Guard

[bhunter]

I'm not sure I'm putting this in the correct place.

I'm looking for a record of service for Edwin Morton KELLY born about 1857 in England (I think) who served in the Coast Guard.  He was stationed at Tarbert Island, County Kerry, Ireland in 1901 - I have the family in the census.

His wife was Lawrenza Grace Hooker born in Cornwall.

Thanks

Birthplaces of children may help show where he was stationed until records are located.

Thanks I have all those.

He was on HMS Agincourt in 1881 when he married. 

Looks like he was listed as EK Commission Boatman born in England in the 1901 Irish Census at Talbert Island barracks of the coast guard.

There is unlikely to be anything online?

But try this guide from The National Archives:

Hi there, are you family of Edwin? My great grandfather was Florence Agatha Kelly’s son.
