My Grandfather was in the Navy he joined at 16 and had to re-enlist at the age of 18 into the mens service, hope this helps.

Hello
I am looking for my ancestor james gordon born around ripon forcett area- apparently he was a naval officer who arrived in sydney around 1807+ as a lft.(and then travelled to tasmania-) I believe the ship he travelled on was called medway? or something similiar? docked in sydney. around 1807.
any information would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
