Great news - at last the nut has been cracked.

Yes, as can be seen from the crew list he held a Master Steam Ship Certificate - it was quite normal for the Ch. Officer to hold a certificate above his rank.  I held a Master Foreign Going Certificate and sailed only as a Chief Officer, and never reached the dizzy heights of Master

Many thanks for that Geoff, maybe I can sleep tonight.

Jool - those certificates were probably his 2nd Mates, then Mates and finally his Masters., The time gap between the dates is about right. May I ask where your certificate info. came from.

Janan,

This signature is on a MN Crew list, which states he place of birth along with his signature.
Sorry you were puzzled

Thanks Jan - Ostle it could be - it does'nt tally with the birthplace, but then that could be wrong.

Hi Jool,

This is a difficult one - I,ve spent hours with this. He was born in Kilsby, Northants in 1887, so the name should be of English origin. I've been through BMD's, census etc, but can find nothing like this.
Thanks for your reply.

Thankyou Flattybasher for the enlargement

I'm wondering if anybody can decipher this signature. This has beaten me.

Thanks,

Can I add my sincere thanks to all those that have worked so hard to preserve this memorial. I only wish that my late mother (Pam Robinson) was here today to see it so well restored and sited in its rightful place, Sharp Street. She was so worried for its future. 

Well done Hull
