No I didn't I 've not had chance to go to a centre to look it up. I suspect it's a wild goose chase but when looking for a needle in a haystack every possibility has to be ruled out.

Thanks for that. It was in the third week of January he fell to his death. The age is right and if it is the party I am looking for he did a runner some six years earlier from the UK.It would also fit together with a family rumour that someone had gone out to Australia and changed his name to John Blundell because of some misdemeanour in the UK.  If correct his wife takes up with someone else has two (or maybe three) kids by him but has returned   to the Blundell name (a widow of course) in 1901. So I really need to find out when he joined up. Some of the articles have him from HMS Torch though.

Ok don't believe everything you read in the press. It could be HMS Torch I'm looking for. How do I go about finding further info about her crew?

Thanks for that. I don't appear to be having a lot of  success. The ship I am looking for is the Waterwitch.

Would the crew lists for the Royal Austalian squadron which I understand was the precursor to the RAN in 1898 be in the National Archives or where?
