>Hello everyone,

>I wonder if anyone out there as access to Naval records. An ancestor of
mine, John REID had the following Naval record. Ships and dates are
approximate and in some cases (such as his age at the time of Victorious and
the date of his death) just don't make sense.
>
> Cumberland - which blew up 13 July 1795
> Bellona until 1809
> Spencer until 1824
> Victorious until 1861
>Hindustand and Blanche are also mentioned, as are the following dates:
1760, 1774, 1795, 1800 and 1808. It was also noted he died in action on
March 2, 1812.
>I have just been handed a scribbled page of a notebook. A very elderly
relative made these notes a number of years ago and cannot recall what the
dates mean.
>
>If anyone has access to these records and would do a look-up for me, I'd be
really grateful.
