Unknown ship

[BrianP41]

Hello,
I am doing some family history and found Frederick Charles Hey in Liverpool in 1939. I think his occupation is a Utility Steward. I would like to find a picture of his ship. Can anyone identify the ship, and what information can be found using the discharge number and BR No.
I am not sure if the picture is attached

Thank you,
Brian

Brian,

Sorry no picture shown. If you post the info you have - discharge book number etc then I expect one of the members will be able to help you.

Behind Utility Steward it might read S.S. Laurentic (of 1927) ?

Hello Brian,

I can confirm it is ss LAURENTIC.
Frederick Charles Hey b. Halifax 2.6.1874. Dis.A Number 873388.
There is s WW1 medal file for him stating dob 1894 but it is the same man. The file can be downloaded from the National Archives in Kew from piece BT 351/1/62256 - http://discovery.nationalarchives.go...ils/r/D8029729 for £3.50.
He has 6 cards in the Fourth Register of Seamen 1918-1941. His CR10 has his id photo. If he continued to serve in WW2 then there may be more records in BT 382.
