Just a quick look thus far suggests 3, one was born 1831 - the other two no detail yet, one is Liverpool, the other Salisbury ? LINK: findmypast.co.uk .
Keith, The original post states on the Oronsay up until sunk in 1942. This would indicate the individuals records are in the Fifth Register at Kew and not the Fourth, which are available at findmypast.

Thanks DeepSea. Hopefully, Robert will come back with some more info esp: Full name, date of / and place of birth any official numbers etc / discharge number etc and may be able to look up himself on findmypast and report back. K
#1, Hello Robert, welcome to the site. If you can furnish us with your father's date and place of birth that would be most helpful. Thank you. Marian Oop's sorry Keith, didn't view your post till I had sent mine
