Occupation Interests / Merchant Navy - Arthur Parker
« on: Wednesday 22 May 19 08:08 BST (UK)  »
Hello - I am trying to trace the following man:
Arthur Parker (no middle name on birth or marriage certs
DoB:  18/Aug/1900 - Deptford
Military history:  Middlesex Regiment (no service record found - probably burned in the blitz)
On marriage cert to Florence Ann Blunden on 16/5/1920 he is a 'seaman'
On death cert of his wife on 1/9/1925 he is listed as 'seaman in merchant service'
There is no record that I can find of any children, employment, re-marriage or death.
I have tried Ancestry, FindMyPast,etc
He seems to have disappeared after his wife's death
Any suggestions would be most welcome
Thanks

Cheers

Hi Pauline
I would like to find any record of his service in the Middlesex Regiment - I assume his service record might have been burned in the blitz

Wow Maythree and Wahian - many thanks for discovering my 5 year old post!  And thanks for the new information.  And yes, any HYDE/HIDE in Thatcham is a relative of some sort.

World War One / Re: Merchant Navy ship Margarita 1915

Hi again
Just as an aside... it seems the Margarita was used to tow x-lighters for the Gallipoli landings from Devonport to Malta during 1915  ( www.xlighter.org ).  As this would have been an Admiralty arrangement, would it have resulted in the Crew Agreement being located somewhere different?
