HMS Victor Emmanuel - Captain and Surgeon
« on: Monday 26 September 22 17:40 BST (UK) »
During the journey to Singapore, her last voyage in 1874, the HMS Victor Emmanuel's captain was S H Parkin and the surgeon was W D Alexander MD. This information is from a birth record of my Gt Gt Aunt. Hope it may be of use to you Roots Chat community.
From Singapore HMS Victor Emmanuel went to Hong Kong were she was to be a hospital ship stationed there.

Not sure where the errors lies but the attached birth record clearly gives the "Signature of Registrar" as S. H. Parkin.

BUT the birth registration image is a transcribed entry.  It is not difficult to see where "G" could be interpreted as "S".   :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
