I'm looking for some guidance research an individual, Henry Mills [1].

The only information I have on him is:
  • 11 March 1886, named on Birth Certificate of Clara Ann Mills [2] with profession "Seaman, Royal Navy". Location Emsworth, Westbourne. His partner was Louisa Kemp (approx 16 y/o).
  • 9 May 1886, named on Christening of Clara Ann Mills, Compton, Sussex, England, United Kingdom
On 9 August 1888, Clara's mother, Louise Kemp [3], had a child with Thomas Smith, Lilian Alice Smith in Tonbridge, Kent, England, United Kingdom

I have spent quite a lot of time looking for other records such as marriage certificates, census, etc, but nothing is coming up on Henry.

Does anyone have any suggestions for Navy records?

There is this one https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov. ... r/D6604293

I don't know what Navy records consist of but could be worth getting
