Family History Beginners Board / Re: Merchant Navy Ships

Hello Westoe. thank you for all your hard work. You found out information about Solange that i knew nothing about. The Anglo Saxon was torpedoed so he must have been on ships after that.
I downloaded the medal card and was disappointed to find the word "Rejected" written across. What do you think this meant - he wasn't entitled to any? What a waste of £3.50.
I have a subscription to FindMyPast so which newspaper do I need to read.
I have his marriage details and he stated that he was an Engineer.
Looking forward to any thing else you come up with.

Hello Westoe
The info you require is:-  Henry Brown, born 13 August 1891 at Woolwich, London.  The card referred to is CR 2 the Discharge Certificate. On the reverse is (149317) 22.7.30 and (161279) 21.2.32. The first one is Solange and the second S/S Anglo Saxon. This card is stamped Jul 1932 Runcorn.
His Discharge No. is 732240. Identity Certificate No. 121547.  Hope this helps.

My grandfather Henry Brown was an engineer in the merchant navy. On the reverse of his card it lists two ships - Anglo Saxon and Solange. Anglo Saxon was torpedoed in WWII with only one survivor, not grandfather. I have seen the crew list and he wasn't a member. How can I find out any other ships he may have sailed on. Solange was also destroyed before the war
