Thank you so much Tony, this is very helpful and I am grateful for your time and expertise

Hi,
I'm trying to work out what this service record is telling me. I understand his ships: June 1921-June 1923.

But I'd particularly like some help with:
1) the info under the 'remarks' section please. (I can see some references to Leicester and I know he ended up there by 1930 so I'd like to know if these remarks can help me understand why Leicester as he was born in Southampton).

2) his joining up period (top right) states 5 + 7 years. I know that this man actually was in the Merchant Navy by August 1923....how would he have left the Royal Navy after only two years if it had signed up for a minimum period - and why doesn't it state this on his service record?

This is the only Royal Navy record I can find for this person (have checked Ancestry, FindMyPast and TNA; this one comes from TNA and is replicated at Ancestry).

Full record is at:
1) https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/60522/records/129327?tid=202575698&pid=362648854214&queryId=6c151b80-2f43-44ea-ae99-36f6840cf9b1&_phsrc=pxd12372&_phstart=successSource

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the cause of this man being invalided out of active service in WW1 please? I have included one wide screenshot so you can compare the handwriting etc. It's just the cause of invalidity I need please.

Dreadful. This would all explain the informal adoption. Thank you for your help again. I think I have what I need for this girl.

Yes correct person for the father of Emily BUT there are several errors with that family on that source.

Do you think that the Emily ALLEN that I seek the birth record for could actually be the daughter of William ALLEN b. 1847 and his wife Clara BILES b.1855 - but was brought up as the daughter of William ALLEN junior (b.1881) and Cecilia REID? ie she was a sister of William ALLEN junior??
