Hello Jayne

Can you give any (even approximate) dates as to when the family was in Bermondsey?

According to the ONS site surnames of England and Wales there were 460 Burkins in England and Wales in 2002. I have only previously encountered this surname in South Yorkshire, and believe it originates in a village of that name near Selby.

Sound like Official Secrets Act. There may be something about this training in Naval Records, I think at Greenwich.
