HMS Dublin

[Parker263]

I am in the process of some geneology research. From my Great Granfathers Marriage certificate dated 1917 I know he was a Able Seamen aboard the HMS Dublin. I have some basic information about HMS Dublin - service and history but was wondering if anyone could point me to right direction to find out more information such as:-

1) Photos of the HMS Dublin and "Crew" Photos

2) The best method to find his service record. - Name was Henry John Parker born 1892.

1) HMS Dublin was too large a ship for there to be a photo of the crew.

2) The online Royal Navy records give the following matches: Is there a service number on the marriage certificate?
