Re: Discharge Book
As the Number should not have changed if he can be found all his Service would be in his CRS10 or CR10 ??
Where was he Born and DOB , even the Year will help

Re: Discharge Book
OK Found this
Born 1886 Queenstown Cork Ireland CR1 BT349 Series
Rating Fireman
After the Ship 146530 British Mariner Tanker Built Jarrow there are no other Entries on his next Record Card it is just a Blank Card , so that was the end of his Service.
His first Ship started in Jan of 1922.

Re: Discharge Book
Joe. Picked my first book up In North Shields , 2 Book up In Clyde ports, and 3 book In south Shieilds. Used to be able to remember them by the pubs close by.North Shields next door to the Jungle, and opposite to the Golden Fleece, have trouble with the Clyde Ports though as cant remember getting so assume Betty’s bar was close by, the. 3 book in South Shields take your pick of the pube in the market Square. All these MMOs now defunct together with a lot of the pubs. If it wasn’t for the GPS system would likely get lost today..Hope you received the private Mail ok , I never am sure whether has gone ok or not . Cheers JS.

Re: Discharge Book
Hi Vernon, Thanks for the info. I have details of ships sailed in after 1921. The previous book is my interest. There was definitely a previous book as I have seen it. It contained discharge records from White Star vessels s.s. Baltic, Adriatic, Celtic. Etc, etc. As Queenstown was a transatlantic port he may have joined there. REGARD

Re: Discharge Book
Hi Joe
As you say there was a previous Book and you saw it, then all i can suggest is to wait till the Archives Reopen fully.
There should then be his CR10 Docs which will hold all his Sea Service Records (Cards)
Cheers
