    Please tell your friend if he ever sees him to give him my contact information as I would love to speak with him again.

    In the meantime, I will continue my search.

    Warmest Regards,

    Gloria I will pass that on to Tim, you never know maybe one day, as Tim runs a society of sorts and a Blog site so he may yet turn something else up.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Any idea how I can find the Southampton Archives?

    Sorry, I'm Canadian and don't know if it's in England or not.

    Thank you so much for you help,

    Warmest Regards,
    Gloria

    It seems after reading this that the Records you want will not be found at the Southampton Archives! Sorry But you can always ask!
    Cheers

    Central index of Merchant Seamen



    Crew agreements which record the contract of employment between the seaman and the employer were also established following the Act and do continue beyond 1857. Prior to 1835 crews are recorded in the muster rolls held at The National Archives.

    Unfortunately from 1861, the surviving lists remain scattered amongst various repositories.

    The National Archives
    TNA holds a ten per cent random sample of agreements and crew lists from 1861 to 1938 and all the lists from 1939 to 1950. From 1951 to 1994, TNA only holds a ten per cent sample.
    National Maritime Museum, Greenwich

    The museum holds 90 per cent of lists covering 1861, 1862, and years ending in '5' from 1865 to 1975 (except 1945).
    Maritime History Archive, Memorial University of Newfoundland
    The Archive holds the remainder of crew lists (about 70 per cent of the total) covering 1863 to 1938 and 1951 to 1976.

    All other lists up to 1989 have been destroyed with the Registry of Shipping and Seamen holding all agreements and crew lists from 1990 onwards.

    So may be better to look possibly at other as above
    National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
    Maritime History Archive, Memorial University of Newfoundland (This I have personally found to be very good) I got all my Lists from there!

    Good Luck

    Possibly, communication between Tim and Gloria, would be a good next step. If this confirmed all, it may be enough.

    Not being funny, but knew a lad from Blyth who went as a midshipman with Blue Flue in 1953, his name was Rice, how appropriate would it be if he sailed with a Curry. JWS.

    Regarding John's #18, there is a Curry G P & D C in Auckland phone book and he could have migrated from Napier. Don't how to relate the DC to Liz though.

    Thanks all leads will be followed up as far as possible.

    We must ensure that it is the correct person.

    Hopefully, John / Oz may come up trumps yet.

    There is a George Curry
    Marine Engineer at OMS
    Gisborne & Hawkes Bay, New ZealandOil & Energy

    at LinkedIn but, not being a member I cannot tell more yet.
