Edit to say: put links in don't know if it's your Simeon not sure how you would tell without other documentation also I have only just seen your other thread about not being able to find the census.

[HarrysMum]

Thanks Maggie.

I hadn't seen those navy records before. There was a nephew with the same name in the navy as well, but I'll get them anyway.

[maggie_4_7]

By the way I noticed another Ruby family with a son named Rueben I don't know if they are related but there are Navy records for a Rueben Ruby too on Ancestry. They're unusual names in so much they're not common or used a lot.

[HarrysMum]

Yep Maggie Rueben is mine as well. I must do more on this family.

Simeon was my one hope for a pirate...........I thought Simeon Ruby seemed like such a good pirate name.....lol
