My grandfather's naval records show that he served on HMS Veronica from 20 Mar 1924 to 10 January 1927.
When my father received his records from the Naval Historical Branch (Naval Staff) section of the MOD  in Portsmouth a few years back, they listed the various ships he had served on, along with a short description.  According to this letter they state:

"HMS Veronica was a 'V&W' Class destroyer, serving in the patrol flotillas off the South cost of Ireland".

Google searches in fact suggest that HMS Veronica would have been out in the Pacific at that time, cruising around New Zealand and surrounding islands. 

Can anyone confirm that this was the case please? I'm going round in circles with this one!

I would be so grateful if someone could work their magic on this please.

(Edit: the second image may be easier)

The 1939 register shows a relative of mine as a patient in a hospital, but I don't know which one.
It gives only the address - 84 Southbourne Road, Bournemouth.  I've tried Googling, but none of the possibles mention that road - can anyone tell me which one it was please? 

I'm thinking it might have been a TB sanitorium, my relative was born and lived in Battersea, London all his life; he was 37 in 1939, and died two years later back in Battersea.

Would anyone be able to find out which years R W BROWN & SONS, Boulevard Studio, W-S-M
were in business, please?

I have a photo of my grandmother b. 1898 in which she looks to be around 20+ years old, so it must be about the late 1910s.  Her family ran some shops in Royal Arcades from 1896, and Boulevard from about 1907 onwards.

I have subscriptions to Ancestry and FindMyPast - but I don't have any reference numbers, just the address, which is:

9 Wyndham Arcade, St. Mary, Cardiff (it was a Fancy Goods shop).

Any advice gratefully received.

Mrs. T.
