Hi: The Navy info for a Robert Gilbert in 1874-1875 is interesting and looks promising .Would Mike please email or post the Navy record.If you are the same Mike that posted a relation to the Rosaline Love/Robert H. Gilbert branch of the family then I have sent you an email already so we can exchange info/photos etc.The date and place of birth of this individual (Limehouse 1848) matches RCG's birth info and relates to his fathers shipwright occupation.The occupation of "tailor" as Mike says is interesting but somehat strange.If this is the correct RCG then he starts off life as a tailor; then joins the Navy; then works as a musician (1879 marriage certificate);musican(1881 census) then a tailor 1891/1901 census) then late in life as a school custodian before his death in 1942.
