Hello

[Paula Weaver]

Hello Everyone,

I'm Paula and have undertaken the task of researching my family tree and am hoping some of you wonderful people can help me!

My great uncle was Ivan Lennox born 14th October 1908, died May 1986. He lived in Lowestoft, but was living in Cornwall when he died. He served with the BP Tankers in WWII. Sorry this is all the information I have.

My Dad was also a merchant seaman, so it must run in the family!!

Nice to meet you all.

Paula Weaver

Paula, welcome, I noticed you have opened two threads on the subject of your great uncle, you also mention that your father was in the MN but do not say whether or not he is alive, if he is then would he have at least the name of one ship Ivan was on. There are some good detectives on this site so will do their best to help. Was Lowestoft is place of birth or did he just live there, the slightest bit of information, although seemingly unimportant is always helpful, even his wife's name etc.
