I don't dismiss what your uncle remembers, but I wonder if grandfather actually said it was HMS (Whatever) and uncle thought he meant a ship. |

Thanks Gwyn, I think I'll contact the navy and see what they have to say, can't think of anywhere else to go. But you could be right on the ship thought |

Thank you all so much for your thoughts. Grandad is showing as being adopted in the 1911 census. Though we know his parents were still alive and my mum remembers her gran, (grandads mum) so unsure as to what age he was sent away. |

Try contacting the RN Museum in Portsmouth dockyard as I believe they hold extensive records. If no joy they will point you in the right direction. |
