| Title: | Admiralty: Royal Navy Continuous Service Engagement Books |
| Description: |
These continuous service engagement books give the date and place of birth, physical characteristics on entry, and a summary of the service of each rating. Digital copies of Royal Navy ratings’ service records 1853-1928 can be searched and downloaded. The indexes to ADM 139 are also available to download as digital microfilm. |
| Note: | Referencing: In 2012, as part of transferring digitised records to The National Archives' new Discovery catalogue, the items throughout this series were temporarily numbered, starting at 1 within each piece. In March 2013 these were corrected to have their item references constructed of the piece number followed by a slash and the numerical part of the service number; for example ADM 139/10/1 is now ADM 139/10/901. |
| Date: | 1853-1872 |
