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
