    Default Does anyone remember my uncle Jimmy - R410036 James Matchett

    Hi, With the success I had with my fathers Service Discharge I thought I would try again this time for one of my uncle’s, unfortunately I only have his Service Number R410036 and his name James Matchett from Leith. Can anyone help me with finding out more about his service record? I would love to know which ships he served on and their voyages, also whether anyone can remember serving with my uncle Jimmy Matchett. He was born on 13/4/1926.

    Added This Link should be correct for his CRS10 Documents, if applying jusy ask for his only with the Reference Number and also quote his Seamans Pouch Ref Number as well. BT 372/1100/62 (Not his R Number )
    Then also as much info as you have on him
    Cheers

    And as before you can apply for his Voyage Record Cards for the Ships he was on, that you will find out once you have his CRS10.
    The VRC's remember are at the Guildhall Library, just an Email with the info to them when you have got that far! Cheers
