Hi, i am trying to trace John O'Toole. He was born about 1920-23. He married my mother in liverpool in 1959 . His occupation is listed as seaman merchant service and my birth certificate says he was a donkeyman. He had been married before. This is the only information i have and would be grateful if anyone knew him. Susan O'Toole

1941 to 1972 Fifth Register of Merchant Seaman's Service. These records are held at The National Archives at Kew in classification BT 382. The actual files are listed in blocks by surname so would require a visit to Kew or would become quite expensive to get hold of. If he was still at sea in 1959 his file should be amongst BT 382/2769 covering the surnames Osmand B S to Otuo-Acheampong S E

Records of individual Merchant Seamen's sea service details are held in alphabetical surname order.
