Memories of Devon
Grandfathers Ship
My Grandfather John Collier served onboard, 6 different occasions between 1874 and 1886.
Great Great Grandad Was on HMS Royal Adelaide
Amazed I've found this. My great great grandad Samuel Jeffery served on this ship as a Ward R steward (1871 Census). Seeing this ship really helps to bring history to life.
HMS Imgregnable
My Great Great Grandfather Frederick George Rivers served and trained on this ship from 1886 to 1887, and trained on another 5 ships in Devonport between 1881 and 1891. Including HMS Duke of Wellington, HMS Rupert and HMS Northampton. He served on his first ship at the age of 16.
George Henry Finch
My Great, Great Grandfather served on this ship several times as a signalman ending in 1889 as 2nd Yeoman.
