Hello Jenn,

Looks like Francis joined the Navy...

Name  Townsend, Francis George
Official Number:  208026
Place of Birth:  Swindon, Wiltshire
 27 June 1884 ADM 188/363

In 1901 there's a Fraser G TOWNSEND, 16, born Swindon, on board the Minotaur in Portland, Dorset. I think this is probably him.

Regards,
John

If you mean 1884 then yes, you have his birthday. I've not purchased any of these Naval records yet, but I believe you get a full register of service.
