I do have a Robert A Watson on the database. He served on HMS Edinburgh as an AB, gave his place of birth as Yorkshire and said he was 35; his Baltic Medal was sent to Sandown CGS on the Isle of Wight. In addition the National Archives hold his service record in ADM 29/50/8, from this I established that prior to joining the CGS he had served on HMS Pylandes during the First China War in 1842, for which he received the China Medal.
