Re: Looking for Grandfather- James White
Can anyone make out the name of the Ship on that Manifest! I cannot
Thanks
This may assist me in trying to trace him??
As i see it at this stage Debbie i have looked through most of my normal Links and as yet no one of that name (well his name that is ) has come up. Only that Manifest by Marian which may or may not be correct ?? I am hoping that someone can ID the name of the Ship This leads us to possibly that either his Records are lost or for some reason destroyed (many were ) or else the Records may in their Original Form at the Southampton Archives. This is where they keep all the CR10 . Best bet is to contact them through Email and ask the question.
Hope there is a solution to this one in the end??
Cheers
Merchant seamen serving since 1918 - The National Archives
Scroll down and read the part
Central Index Register (aka Fourth Register of Seamen), 1918-1941
Do you know i he was in the Army at anytime?
Northumberland Fusiliers ?? There is a listing for that name same place of Birth and Year , Regimental Number 90002 he was then 29 in 1919. ??? All just gussing!

Re: Looking for Grandfather- James White
Thanks everyone for trying. I knew it would be a longshot.
I will see if I can get a copy of the above Baptism record maybe it will have more information that might lead me to a Birth record.
I'll keep checking back to see if anyone happens on any new info and will update if I find anything more concrete.
Thanks so much again for all your efforts
Debbie

Re: Looking for Grandfather- James White
This points to the Crew list for that Ship from the National Archives. so could be of some use.
Ship Potomac , official number: 115127. When built: 1902. Registry closed: 1919. | The National Archives
Although it does say up to 1920 ?? So ???

I really can't confirm much in the way of details .. as we can't find records for him.. and most details were by word of mouth.
