Trying to find what happened to my great uncle who sailed from NZ as 1st Mate aboard a ship in 1919 heading for Port Townsend, He sent a letter home to his mother in Shetland he expected to be home when he could get a ship but was not heard of. He was born in 1894 in Shetland Isles Scotland. |

How much research have you done yourself? No point in duplicating |

As 1919 would be in the midst of the Spanish flu epidemic you also need to consider that he died. |

There is this 1901 Census but there is no George! The Family were all born Scotland. On the image the surname, I think, is 'Irvine'. The Image states Anne is married but no information about husband's occupation |

Can't see a 1919 voyage, but wonder if this could be James in 1913 (though it's a very common name) : |

Neil's tree on Ancestry says that George was born 18 June 1902 at Gulberwick - and there is a Lerwick registered birth in 1902, so presumably correct. |

Great source for Shetland families. Here is the family group. |

Neil - it is much better for all the researches trying to help you if you post the information on the thread rather than by pm. Unless it is very sensitive - which I don't think this is. |

Gone South! As we are looking all around the world that needs clarifying. |
