Claire,
I would suggest you post the CRS 10 as an attachment so we can take a look......some of those ship's names that you have transposed are incorrectly spelt - not surprising as a CRS 10 can be difficult to interpret sometimes.

What is a cso 56 issued 6-10-50 and again 6-3-52 own request?

It is CRS 56 (Transfer of a seaman to national registration and civil rationing).

MNRP = Merchant Navy Reserve Pool.

Jim is correct re DO = Ditto - used a lot in MN records.

Regards
Hugh
