Hi I looked on the irish mariners site and found my dad on there.I think .his name was michael dolan he was b in roscommon on 14/9 / 1894 and did go to sea in 1916 to 1921 he met my mother in liverpool and they married in 1916 .the only thing is on the list it has his b as 14 /9/1874 so I am not sure if it is him .he was on the empress of britain in feb /and apr in 1919.is there any way I can get the list of seamen on board those dates ?he was an able seaman.   thanks for all your help in the past    Joan

Hi I had the same trouble as you with birthdate on the actual card at Southampton of my great grandfather.
His year of birth  on the card was 1894 but he too was born in 1874 even the actual day of birth was wrong but I knew it was him as it listed his home address and wifes name which matched the 1911 census.
Plus his photo is definately of a man aged around 46 rather than 26!!!

There is this Michael Dolan who says he was born in Roscommon, giving an address of 20, Pleasant Grove(?), Bootle. DOB is 14/9/94 - so looks like he could be yours.

Just a thought, was her surname Dolan when she made the journey to the US? or is Dolan her name once she married in the US?

Hi Teresa thank you for your quick reply regarding my dad I would be very grateful if you could send me any thing you have on him and the ships he was on did you want my email address or home one .as for mary ellen dolan that was her name when she went to the u,s,a she married edward franklin ellis in 1903 in medford boston  mass she lied on the marrage cert that she was 24 when she was really 27 I have tried to find her on the 1900 census but had no luck but did find her on the 1910/1920 census .
          Thank you all for being so good and helping it must take you ages going through all the books and names ,I am very grateful to you all
                 best wishes    joan

Did you get a copy of the CR10 card for Michael Dolan from Southampton Archives to confirm his age from his photo?
I think you tried to email me thro the irishmariners website today but my firewall is misbehaving  and removed your email address.  Could you try again.
best wishes

Hi Earnest I haven,t been in touch with Southampton office about my dads card I ran through the list of sea men on there and he was there, someone looked him up on one of the ships listed and it gave his home address and it was the house I was born in ,there wasn,t a photo of him in the list which was a pity .The ship was called Vauban of Liverpool  (Lamport& Holt)among others he was on the 1/6/1921.Thanks for getting in touch.
