Title: Merchant navy
Post by: cnerys on Friday 17 January 25 20:54 GMT (UK)

Hi,
I'm trying to find information on someone who was in the Merchant Navy. All I have is his name, no idea when he was in the Merchant navy but he used to go to reunions in Blackpool.
Kind Regards
Nerys

You do not say the suspected period but try a search on

Last Name First Initial

on Discovery at The National Archives.

You may get lucky and find his seamen's records (pouch) in BT 372 series.
