Searching for John Wilson - seaman

[Doc Vernon]

POSTS Numbers 6 and 7 excellent find Hugh. Knew you would come up with the goods especially with the Royal Navy Side!
Thanks

Just one thing for Rob, yes the Docs are Free downloads from the NA, however just remember that you have to join there first , mind you that free as well!
Cheers

Hugh: I'm curious why you think John who died on the Apapa in 1917 is not the same man. I have a 1914 death record (his wife's) showing him alive and working as a seaman at age 62. Seems plausible, unless we can definitively rule him out.

You can definitely rule him out Rob. I would need to check again but I think the one on Apapa was about 23 years old and a Fireman. By the way John Wilson is a very common name and there are a few of them.

Ok. Cool. I haven't seen the death record myself, so I thought I would ask. Thanks for all your help.

No worries - here is the record [highlighted] which should confirm it is not who you are looking for.
