Can I cross refer to this thread which is relevant?
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=843479.0I have found this George James Robilliard memorial on a brass plaque in St Pauls Cathedral, London, dedicated to those lost in the sinking of HMS Captain in 1870.
He is listed on the memorial in a list entitled "Seamen, Artificers, &c". I believe he is 19 at the sinking. The photo (see original thread) is him standing with his brother (maybe) Joseph (born 1845) or William (born 1848).
I would like to find if I can when George enlisted, and what the title of "Seamen, Artificers, &c" would mean for a young man. The attachment is acknowledged from
