Geoffers. I am looking for any info regarding my grandfather, William John Stephens, stoker aboard H.M.S.Temeraire @ the Battle of Jutland in 1916. I have read your blogs,& the navy list appears to ,maybe ,not have lower rates of that time. I believe his rate COULD have been p.o. Any info would be grateful. I am a civilian working for the Navy, so perhaps I could find some links there, what do you think? Thanks -Terry

TNA's catalogue is throwing a wobbly at the moment, but you should be able to locate the files with the ship's logs (ADM53) and there may be a list of casualties (ADM1).
Paul Benyon's web-site has lots of interesting bits and pieces, including Jane' 1919

The service record really is the first place to go, as Geoffers says.
All else can follow from that.
The Navy Lists are simply officer lists and hence he wouldn't appear there
Temeraire was at Jutland but suffered no damage and no casualties.

Welcome to the B-G forums
To help you get used to using The National Archives (TNA) web-site, I have typed out the process you need to try first of all......

There are a series of different links now. Try the second link down and click on 'Registers of Seamen's Services (ADM139, ADM188) you'll get to this page
Read the page
Now click on the third word of the first paragraph 'search'
Fill in the details that you know. To begin with just try entering the name
In the forename field enter - jo*n (this will allow for variant spellings and Jonathan/on)
In the surname enter - Appleton
Then search, you should get 14 hits on 2 pages
The place and date of birth are given - do these tie up with any known facts about your chap?
If not, what was your chap's date of birth? Did he marry whilst in the RN? Do you have any medals from him from WW1?
