	This is from Findmypast:- British Royal Navy Seamen 1899-1924 Transcription Learn more Print View image Add to tree First name(s) Brown Last name Parkin Service number 299334 Birth year 1881 Birth date 04 Oct 1881 Birth place Loftus Birth county Yorkshire Birth country England Archive The National Archives Archive reference ADM 188/485/299334 Record set British Royal Navy Seamen 1899-1924 Category Military, armed forces & conflict Subcategory Regimental & service records Collections from Great Britain, UK None On the image it gives his dates of service on various ships. It looks like one of the periods he is on service is from 8th December 1910 to 4th March 1912. I will try to send you the image but I can't promise as I usually leave anything like sending images to my son but he is abroad at the moment. I'll give it a try though. Kath. x
