Lost Discharge book number needed
Please can you help me to find my lost numbers for these books. I would like to see if my pension is still active after 30 years of not claiming...I worked at sea between 1979-1986. Any information for pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Mark
As you were at Sea still after 1972 there will be no records at the National Archive in Kew,however you can go to or possibly contact the Southampton Archives which hold many past Records after that date.
This is the only avenue o know of that may be able to assist!
Cheers and Good Hunting
