Trying to decipher a Naval record for ancestor
« on: Friday 21 March 14 18:46 GMT (UK) »
I have recently got the Naval record for my g-g-grandfather but am having difficulty in deciphering the page listing all the postings and what it all means.  I am wondering if there is an expert at these things who would be willing to take a look at it for me please? 
First posting to this forum so thanks for reading.
