hi, last year i found a site which listed the names of men who had served in the navy and aboard vessels etc and i found my ancestor aboard Royal Standard. I know he was a sailor as it is on the 1871 and 1881 census form. i bookmarked the page but its gone as my computer crashed months back, the maddening thing is even when i type in his name thomas henry frost (i did this last time and it worked) nothing to do with the above comes up and i have tried it all ways. I have found 2 different articles on this ship but i want the names of the crew members, so can any kind person tell me the best place to search. |

Rachel forgive me, but are you sure thats the name of the ship? The Royal Standard is the name of a flag - possibly a ship aswell but I cant seem to find it when I google? |

Oh well done, I couldnt see it. If you cant find anything, nip over to Family Tree Forum and ask or check out the WIKI (encyclopaedia) on there for various links. |
