World War One / Re: HMT Oshogbo

Many thanks for all your info. Many heads are definately better than one!
Victor Degerlund was definately Finnish. I don't know whether my grandmother knew what happened to him, and the CWGC details suggest that they didn't know exactly who he was. It would be nice to be able to "put the record straight" officially, but I don't know how to go about it. I never knew either grandparent as my mother was adopted, probably as a result of my grand mother being left on her own.

World War One / HMT Oshogbo

Does anyone know what the Elder Dempster Line "Oshogbo" was doing during WW1? My grandfather was the ship's carpenter and was buried in a Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Le Havre in 1919. I am trying to find out how he died. I know the ship wasn't sunk because it ran aground some years later. There is some question about whether it was a troop ship or not due to its size.

Have just come across your query, but I suppose you have the answer by now. If you haven't Robert (33, steward of Hull) married Sarah Wiglesworth by licence on 8th June 1840 at St Mary's, Hull.
