The search for Christina seems to be in the form of a new thread on Genealogy Board

Thank you everyone for your help.

I will continue my search for Christina she was my grandmothers lost sister

I have checked the marriage record on the Scotland site
and everything matches up. His father and mothers names.

Hi
Thank you again, no trace of children.
I was told that christina emigrated to the USA but she does appear on any passenger lists. Christina does not show up in any searches in the Uk after 1920, just disappears.

The Ancestry tree doesn't acknowledge his first marriage.

Page Number: 861

Married Edna E L Chambers in Portsmouth 1945.
Died in Portsmouth 1993.

Full name: Sidney William Hunt.
DOB : 30 Oct 1921.

As the second marriage took place in a church, one has to assume that his first wife died. The only other possibility is if they had an annulment

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/royal-navy-ratings-service-records-1853-1928/

What are these records?

Available here are over 700,000 Royal Navy service records for ratings who entered the service between 1853 and 1928. Some of the records cover periods of service up to at least 1950.

The original records are in four series at The National Archives:

continuous service engagement books from 1853 to 1872, in series ADM 139
registers of seamen’s services from 1873 to 1924, in series ADM 188
registers of seamen’s services from 1925-1928, in series ADM 362
continuous record (CR) cards from 1929-1950, in series ADM 363
