SS Messarber
I am tracing family history for a friend and searching for an Albert Henry Childs and/or the SS Messarber on which he served around 1918. Can anyone help please.

Re: SS Messarber
Welcome Norman,
Are you sure about the name ''MESSARBER" - I think it may be a typo.
I have an Albert Henry Childs b. 29.8.1903 in London aboard the ship MESABA not the one sunk in 1918 but the one built in 1918. Can you check if that is the correct man if not could you supply his date and place of birth?
Regards
Hugh
