HMS MINOTAUR
REUBAN ASHBY.. My
Great Grandfather, Reuban Ashby was serving on HMS Minotaur during the
late 1800's. I understand it was launched on 12/12/1863 a Broadside,
Ironclad Frigate, but would love to find out more. I have a crew list if
anyone else has an ancestor they would like me to have a look for. Any
information greatly appreciated. email
