Is this a completely separate service record?
Are the documents you have found all in ADM188?

If you have searched documents online for records of seamen's service the number you have given is a continuous service number. Looking at documentsonline this indeed does refer to John HARDIE
It might be useful if you could tell us
What is your grandfather's name?
If you have found an entry under his name using documentsonline, there should be what is listed as his 'official number' what is that number please? I would expect it to either consist of 5 digits and begin with 9, or six digits and begin with 1
What are you hoping to find?

Thanks for coming back so quickly
Yes i have the service hitory for a Henry Matthews No96092 Born 1860 which shows he was in the navy from 1866 till 1919
with a gap between 1899 till 1914 but as i said my gf death cert gives his service no as 14184

Have you looked at the RN medal rolls to see what is recorded for your chap there? (These are in the series ADM171 which are available on the pay-per-view site 'ancestry').

Hi
On the WW1 medal roll there is a Henry Matthews 96092 rated PO2, entitled to the British War Medal (only medal).

If you do, does that date of birth then match the record on documentsonline?
Was your old boy in the RN when he married? Does the occupation on the marriage certificate tie up with anything on the service record?
As you're in London, why not pop along to Kew and see what else you can find - Pension records for example?
Do you have any photos of him in uniform and if so do any markings on it match anything noted in his service record?
