    Default Help Please

    I am hoping someone may be able to shed a little light on a couple of MN men please.
    They are both my Gt Uncles.
    1. Thomas Edward Evans b 22 July 1891 Bootle, Liverpool
    2. Dis A 1044953 – Fireman
    3. 1921 according to his record he was on the Pacuare 120707.
    I have record of him via the Bootle Electoral Rolls from Crosby Library when I visited there couple years back.
    Edward as he is known on Birth cert, 1901 Census and 1911 Census is living with his mother 1918 at 14 Springrove, Bootle. This was a family address till 1944. Beside his name in the electoral roll is M or N, this signifies Naval or Military. He appears to be at the address till 1921.
    I have searched records at Kew and have copies of his Merchant Navy record from Find My Past. Have never been able to track down the Pacuare crew list, or any other information on him after 1921.
    Any help as to where I might find more Merchant Navy records for him would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.


    Thomas Edward Evans b 3 December 1901. This Thomas Edward Evans appears to be using his brother’s name for whatever reason!!
    Have his Merchant Navy record from Find My Past also.
    Dis A no. 1123539
    I have a copy of the 1925 crew list for him for the SS Marquesa 140586 which I got at Kew. The address for him is listed as 14 Springrove Bootle, so I know it is the Brother of the above.
    The crew list has his previous ship as Warspite.
    I have looked this ship up and there were several and of course the Warspite was involved in the Battle of Jutland.
    Thomas was born Thomas Alfred Evans, his marriage certificate has him as Edward Thomas Evans!! Not sure that he knew who he was ((-:
    Again if anyone could help me here where I might find further information would be very helpful. Would love to find more about the Warspite as well.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Regards
    Barbara
