Armed Forces / Robert Forbes - Royal Navy Commander
« on: Monday 24 June 19 18:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find more detail about my 4th great-grandfather Robert Forbes. The only fact I have about him so far is from his son's (Robert Charles Forbes) marriage certificate. It is dated 22nd Dec 1842 and lists his father as Robert Forbes and his occupation as Commander in the Navy.

Does anyone know how I would go about following this up. Presumably if he was a commander, his name should appear somewhere in the Royal Navy record?

Thanks,
Matt

Kent Lookup Requests / Gordon Lodge, Dover
« on: Wednesday 15 May 13 11:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, Hoping someone can help. I'm trying to find any information about Gordon Lodge in Dover for a friend. It is set in it's own grounds at the top of Vale View Road in Dover. I have the house on the 1890 OS map, but not on the 1870 so assume it was built between those dates. Does anyone have access to the 1871-1911 censuses and could check for the house and occupants between those dates? Actual images of the censuses would be great if possible. Also anyone with access to any other databases which might mention the house would be great. Where would hold further information about the house? Would the local council or library have any information?
