I have had no success in trying to find records of my father in law whilst he was in the Merchant Navy. I have searched on National Archives, and Find my past records....all to no avail. Have you any ideas where else I could search.....or even write to . He was in the MN from1932 to 1948 and we have records of what ships he was on....well some of them. |

Merchant Navy records used to be kept at The Register of Seamen and Shipping in Cardiff, but I understand that they were farmed out to Newfoundland Canada dont know why. I cannot recall the adress and cantact information at the moment. I will in the next few days find the information for you and maybe someone else will have enlightened you beforehand. |

There is a Maritime Museum in Liverpool with good data base. |
