Please assist if you can with my grandfathers older brothers ww1 record.
He survived the "war" only to have died in January 1919 after more than 10 years as a seaman.

What i am querying is in far right column:
1 what is a "c of e" thats being held? is it Court of Enquiry
2 the reference NL 4655/19 to a REPORT is this available for me to see now somewhere? or is it 100 year law prohibited
3 the word missing in the sentence i cant read ..."accidently drowned through the ***** of a collision on 26/1/1919

All further assistance on this would be most helpful. Incident took place on HMS GREENWICH / HMS TINTAGEL and is James Samuel Green no. 239935
I have copied a portion of the document only to show the source of the document no intention to defraud on copyright, purely as a family member of the deceased to obtain more info on behalf of his nephews etc.

Many Many thanks to anyone who takes time to read and indeed offers any help.

I have found a bap for John William attributted to James and Mary , the surname on the doc looks a bit vague but could pass for Gredley , just. I have also located Baps For James and Ann Gridleys children Edward 1810 james 1807, Henry 1804  and Mary 1802

I cannot piece the two together for you.
Sorry
Sid

World War One / Re: Are there way to find reports of ww1 Deaths aboard ships HMS TINTAGEL , HMS ARNO
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 19:25 GMT (UK)  »
Ady and hugatree my sincere thanks for those pointers to other sources of info. It gives further info and maybe another contact to discuss this further. Is there any point searching local papers? I guess grimsby is unfortunately full of such stories and may be difficult to find due to this .  Some good news William does appear on the Wivenhoe memorial ww1. James is supposed to have died after war ceased so will look at the info further to try and work this out.
Any more views help like this are very welcome and exceptionally well  received .
 My grandfather was lucky  he was born 1905.  And obviously so am I he has 4 sons all survive so I will onpass this news and any further info to many family members. Thank you .Sid

World War One / Are there way to find reports of ww1 Deaths aboard ships HMS TINTAGEL , HMS ARNO
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 16:26 GMT (UK)  »
My Grandad Lost 3 Brothers at sea in or just after WW1 . I also  know there are more to trace and many of my ancestors worked the seas before war broke out. Is there a best way to research these losses.
Aboard HMS Arno we lost Jack  and do have a local paper report on it I think its about 1916.
Next we lost his brother William John Green Born in Wivenhoe but lost on a steam trawler Queenborough 21st march 1917 ~ we do not know how he died , if he drowned or ship was lost or it was a disease etc. he had moved to Grimsby before war broke out and was living with a wife and two young daughters in New Clee.
Just after WW1 ended Aboard HMS Tintagel in 1919 we also lost his brother James Samuel Green petty officer with a service no . 239935 it shows he was one of two men drowned 26/jan/1919 he lived at Greenhythe in Kent with a wife and 1 young daughter.
Also these chaps Auntie Maria Green married a Christopher Joel Sadler in Grimsby having moved to Grimsby from Harwich before 1881. Unfortunately Christopher Sadler and their son Horace Sadler both died aboard Frigate Bird Mercantile Marine on 25 june 1917.Rumour has it there were more family aboard that same vessel.
What is the best way to find out more about the loss of life in each case?
Do i need to visit each hometown of the lost individual and search newspaper cuttings.
Do i need to visit NAtional Archives and if so how and what do i need to resolve this?
Is their a website or book on these loses?

Any help most welcome
