Hi,
The Commnwealth War Graves Commission site confirms the details you have:
Name: CHALMERS, JOHN FREDERICK
Initials: J F
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Ordinary Seaman
Regiment/Service: Royal Navy
Unit Text: H.M.S. Ganges.
Date of Death: 07/02/1943
Service No: JX.376817
Additional information: Son of John William and Rose Chalmers; grandson of Harriet
Chalmers, of Stamshaw, Portsmouth.
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: Plot 107. (Palin). Row 11. Grave 34.
Cemetery: PORTSMOUTH (KINGSTON) CEMETERY
You would probably have to apply to the GRO to get a marriage record, but as you don't
have Rose's last name, that too may be difficult. Harriet's surname may also be
her married name, so again you have a small problem!
John
