Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Discharge Reason ?
« on: Wednesday 28 March 18 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Thanks yet again bbart, how have you found that in 1924 ? he obviously is back on dry land after his naval activities, I think he must have had problems with employment as he is on the government course in April 1926 and in August 1926 he is off to Australia working on a sheep station ??????? That's it again until 1938 where we have a picture of him on Skegness front walking with my mum. Once again thanks everybody I am amazed what you lot have found out in a few days, and I have been trying for years. :) :) :) :) WeddieD1948

Thanks again bbart, my son and I came to the same conclusion when we saw the photo, as I said all other details are correct, the address is strange but that is difficult to check after 1911, and in reply to MaxB yes the picture is not correct the seamans picture is not my dads.

Yes MaxD, all of that adds up and is info I hold, the picture we have is not him, we knew from family stories he had done a few trips round the globe , but as I say no proof. Have a look see what you think.

Thanks again, B Bart,   great info do you say that this Marine service was before 1919, so that would be in WW1 ? Just logged on to FindmyPast and I cannot seem to find anything any more help would be great .

Thanks again, more to think about, he was born in 1902 and when starting this service was only 16 yrs and 8 months old, surely he could not have been in the merchant navy as young as that, I have just applied to Glasgow to obtain his Army service record that is another mystery , pictures in Army uniform (RASC ?)  in England and India , but here again I have no documents or proof , just a few family stories. Thanks again.

Sudden thought comes to mind, if he had have only completed basic training would he have been assigned to the HMS ( training name) and not to an actual ship i.e. HMS Pangbourne ?

Thank you so much, I had never considered that he only did his basic training and then demob ! I have no evidence really of what he did from the date on the service form through to 1938 when he met my mother and then they got married. He went out to australia under the governments scheme in 1926 and then another blank.  Thanks again for all of your help. :)
