Armed Forces / HMS Argus 1929
« on: Wednesday 27 August 25 11:11 BST (UK)  »
Hello

My Grandfather was serving on HMS Argus between 1927 and 1930.

On 9th Feb 1929 he lost a good conduct badge for being absent and damage to an aeroplane.

Is it likely that there is a written record anywhere of what happened? Perhaps in a ship's log book?

Thanks

Martin

Here's a clip from 1948 OS map with house numbers. Doesn't look like the picture in the LPA.

There is a mistake on the captions at London Picture Archive. The picture I referred to is captioned Locton Street Bow. There is another picture alongside of the same location captioned Lockton Street Kensington. Take your pick. I'm inclined to think the two pictures are more likely to be Kensington.

Go here

https://www.londonpicturearchive.org.uk/

and search for Locton street. there is a picture of numbers 2-10.

From maps and census records you should be able to locate the position of number 4.

It takes time........

Good luck

I don't think you can do it.

If you go to the site Uboat.net you can find a lot of information about allied vessels. Including ships logs. My uncle was a submariner in that area and I discovered a lot.

I want to see at a glance what info I've got and what I haven't!


I use filters in FTM to do that sort of thing. For example to show all descendants of a person that haven't got a death record.

When you say you want to link to the individual's record, do you mean the record on FTM? It's not possible to make such a link - you can access FTM records only by using FTM.

Or have I misunderstood?

Watched the first episode yesterday. I found it tedious and irritating.
