Do you have an ancestor or other family member who served as an officer with the British Royal Navy between 1888 and 1970? Come explore the UK, Navy Lists on Fold3! In addition to including officers of the Royal Navy, the lists also include information on officers of the Royal Marines, Queen Alexandra’s Royal Nursing Service, Coast Guard, and other naval entities.
The Navy Lists began publication in 1819 and provide information on people who were serving as either commissioned or warrant officers in various naval services. Fold3’s UK, Navy Lists collection contains Navy Lists published between 1888 and 1970. Though not every year between these dates is available, the majority of them are.
The Navy Lists contain basic information on officers, including name, where they were serving, rank, date of seniority, and (in later editions) specialization. The information within the Navy Lists is grouped in a variety of ways, such as alphabetically by officer’s surname, by rank (further broken down by date of seniority), and by ship or station. There are also lists of pensioners and retired officers, as well as lists of officers in the reserves.
In addition to information about officers, the Navy Lists also include a variety of other details about the Royal Navy. This information varies from year to year but may include regulations, members of boards, and vessels for sale. There may also be lists of clerks, schoolmasters, civilian dental surgeons, warrant writers, warrant armorers, head schoolmasters, head stewards, and others.
And here’s a tip: If you’ve found an ancestor in one year’s edition of the Navy Lists, try searching for that person across multiple years’ worth of Navy Lists. Keeping track of their commissions, promotions, and stations over the years will help you gain a more complete understanding of their naval career and what their experience was like.

What do you have on the Bataan Death March ?
I don’t have any info. None of my people were involved in Bataan. My uncle was a Japanese POW, but not in the Bataan Death March. I’m glad he wasn’t. What he went through was bad enough. Good luck on your search. Ancestry should have a listing.
Sorry, I don’t have anything.
What site do you have for the Bataan Death March ?
My great uncle was a Marine who survived the Bataan Death March and was taken to a POW camp in Japan. The prisoners were fed so little most died there. My uncle died just after liberation from severe starvation.
I recently noticed an unauthorized charge on my credit card of $39.95. I don’t ever authorize automatic payments of any kind. I haven’t even used your services since I applied for 1 year enrollment with fold3. I want to cancel my contract immediately, and refund $39.95 back to my credit card.
