Help with deciphering handwriting on Royal Navy record
« on: Wednesday 04 June 25 10:11 BST (UK) »
I am trying to decipher some handwriting on my 5x Great-grandfather's Royal Navy record. I can work out the "supr list no 165" refers to supernumeraries list number 165 but I cannot work out what the next column to the right says. If anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks,

Andrew

Just a guess, Late Barbra, ie HMS Barbara

Yes. Thanks. That's why I couldn't find the ship's logs for HMS Somers. The name had reverted back to HMS Barbara!
