Could someone help me with my query.
Researching the life of my Grandmother I found her Father Thomas was a seaman in the Royal navy serving aboard HMS Ocean, this was in 1871. The ship was decomissioned a short while later.
Two daughters were born Alive 1875 and Edith 1877 there place of birth is shown as Fethard, New Ross.
My query is:
1/ Was there a Royal Naval base in or near Fethard around the 1870's that he could have been posted to. I have checked wikepedie and the Royal Navy web site but with no success
2/ The family in question were Christened Cof E what would be the local Cof E Church that the Christenings would probably have took place
Any Help would be very much appreciated
