Hi my Grandads name was
Joesphes George Hibberd his Date of Birth was 23.10.1913 . His date of death was 3rd .11 1963 .
I'm not sure how many years he was in the merchant navy , but I do know he was on the Queen Mary and that he used to collect the new torpedo boats for the navy , that's how he met my Nanna she would hand over the torpedo boats to my grandad . Nannas name was Katherine Mary Croft.

Did he die in Newton Lancashire England!?

I have not seen yet seen any trace of him in the Archives but will continue to look!
Cheers

If he was in the Service there could be a CRS10 for him though, will look for the Link and post later!


Added Heywood F M to Higgins A | The National Archives

The above Link should hold his Records if still available , it will give Service from 1946 to 1972 which would include his time . Earlier Records if available i have not yet been able to find so ???
Good Luck.
Dont know when he joined , as said i cannot see any records for his Seamans Pouch which woud cover any periods prior to 1946 ??
