    I would suggest the Irish Mariners site to begin with: LINK: Search the database Irish Mariners

    There are others that I use and may advise further as we go along. RE: Irish Mariners, I will take a look at but, suggest you do also.

    Some close, similar numbers have shown thus far for my family home town of Kinsale, CO. Cork. Which further intrigues me.

    Keep looking in, updating etc for best results.

    Regards,

    Keith.

    To save confusion will hang back and see what else is found prior to searching further.

    Thanks Marian, I have the Census Records and was aware that Edward and his only son Daniel (BTW married with 3 children and living at same address in 1911) were ships firemen. I don' have an official DOB for Edward as he was born before civil registrations began. However, Daniel was born and baptised in 1876. The card says 16.03.1878 which makes me doubt that it is them.

    Thanks Keith, I wasn't aware of the Irish Mariners site. I will take a look. I am originally from Cork City and know Kinsale well. I hope to attend a cousins wedding in Actons Hotel later this year, if we are not still subject to COVID restrictions.

    Few do not know of me in Kinsale.

    Over due a visit myself.

    Keith.

    Kinsale

    God bless the Fishermen, who go out on the sea,
    Braving every wave, for the likes of you and me.
    Riding every swell, the herring shoals to see,
    Then trying to catch that wind, that brings them home for tea.

    One minute it. s as clear as glass, the next as black as coal.
    With the captain at the wheel, watching every roll.
    The chef is in the galley, the coffees on the brew.
    But I like my cup of tea, like Gandhi it is true.

    And as the waves whirl me around and push me to and fro,
    I wish that I was on dry land, a drinking I would go.
    To see again the Heart and Crown, the Guinness and the crack,
    To listen to those Irish songs, always bring me back.

    It takes all kinds to make a world, as you can understand.
    The sailor loves the open sea, the farmer likes the land.
    The priest has his pulpit, where he can make his stand.
    But I like best, when I can rest, my spider in my hand

    I have looked on that Irish Mariners Site and as yet find no records, however it looks like by the Numbers they could well be Irish Mariners , ( Yes we know that( what i mean is possibly with the Irish Mariners Site?

    It is also however possible that they were with the normal British Merchant Navy as well, those Numbers as Ivan has pointed out are from the 1925 or earlier era.

    Here is just an example from that site

    Donovan, Daniel (Fireman) RS2 No.420383.
    Born: 1875-09-01, Cork, Co. Cork, Ireland
