Many royalists were evacuated from Toulon by the British squadron following the siege of Toulon in 1793.

My 3rd great grandfather Charles MARTIN was a French gentleman's servant during the revolution and when his master's property was confiscated was left to his own resources. He made his way to England and joined the British Navy about 1795. He was an ordinary seaman (no service record) on HMS ACHILLE at the Battle of Trafalgar.
I'm currently looking through 117 hits on The National Archives database with a view to visiting Kew.
Is there any other source regarding the evaculation, please?
