Identifying a name from service number

(1/1)

jusgrim:
Hello, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to put a name to a WW2 service number if the RN service number and town of residence is all I have? I've searched ancestry to no avail so far.

The number I'm looking up is LX23238, town Bridgewater.

Thanks

Justin

[Those already serving] L......to L15101.    LOWER PAY SCALE POST 25th October 1925
