Albert Farminer

Birth Name Albert Farminer 1a

    All Royal Navy records give date of birth as 30 Dec 1865 Linchmere Sussex.
    Either the Royal Navy made a mistake or Albert lied about his age.
    I can find no Albert born 1865.
    On the other hand Albert Farminer born 1870 appears to fit the Royal Navy record.

    Even down to his brother Frederick of Copse Hill being informed of Albert having died as his parents were both deceased.

    No age is given on grave stone.

    The Royal Navy details shown in this record are based on Albert records born 1865
