John Hill - Royal Navy

[p.roberts7]

John Hill was born in Harford c1844, and was serving in the RN in 1861 & 1871.
Someone has kindly given me images from these two Censuses, but only for the pages on which he appears!
I was wondering whether someone with access to Ancestry could send me images of the pages that detail the Ship or shore base that these pages relate to?
The Census refs are: 1861 RG9/4436 Fol 133
1871 RG10/2140
Many, MANY thanks in advance!
