Hi Seaweed
This is all helping to get a good picture of his life at sea.
There was nothing on the  back of that card by the way.
I will dig into the references you have forwarded me and see what happens.
I have tried to get some pics of these craft he worked on but to no avail.

Thanks again

Deebee

Hi Seaweed.
The information from FindMyPast is shown on the attached dated 14 may 1928. I also gathered the crew info you advised me on.
The three ships, Lady of Clennel, Rainbow and Sorcerer are from the attached, although not to clear a copy that was sent to me years ago.
I also have a poor copy of a part certificate that shows dates of passing as 1904, 1907 qnd 1908.
I have nearly completed my book but would love to get more info on my Great Great grandfather so any crew agreements or anything would be most helpful.
And I shall follow up your suggestions. If you fancy a look at the online book let me have your email and i will link it.

Many many thanks Seaweed.

Thanks so much for all this so far.
I have managed to get a little information from findmypast, but not much at all.

Thanks again everyone

My Great Grandfather, William Ernest Hogarth BLOIS served as a Master Mariner in the Merchant Navy most his life. He was born 1867 in Wivenhoe, Essex. I know of only three ships he worked on, Lady of Clennel in 1913, Rainbow in 1915 and Sorcerer in 1921. I would love to know more about this man, so any advice, help would be much appreciated. I have tried certain ancestry sites but to no avail.
