Just a question and guess you may have already looked , however i cannot even find his name on the 1911 Census, if the above is correct about where he was Born. Harwich, Essex ??
That is very strange ??

After reading this Entire thread over , i am a wee bit stumped by something??
In your qpening request you state that your Man was Born 1911 , which we have established (I hope LOL) this is n problem, then you state the he joined the Merchant Navy 1939 or after, this then would have had him at some 28 Years og age> Now this is where i an a bit puzzled, as most all Lads of that Era joined up at a much earlier age , and it seems a bit late for him to have joined??
Is it possible that he joined before that say in 1929 and not 1939 ??
Now i just say all this as a possibility, as there is the chance that he did join at a later agae, but to me not very likely!

Just a wee bit more of interest on Trinity House , as said just for interest!
