World War Two / Navy or merchant navy?
« on: Wednesday 17 April 19 15:58 BST (UK) »
Hi, I wondered if any of you could help?
I’m looking for any records of my grandfather as he was supposed to be in the merchant navy - so far I’ve hit a blank!
Can’t find anything in his name in both navy and merchant navy, it’s not clear which he was actually in.
Thanks to ancestry dna test, we’ve found a half-uncle, he never knew his dad as his mum got pregnant in 1944, in Boston, in America. Now, apparently his submarine (?) was in dry-dock in Boston from 1943-44.
Is there any way I can find the name of the sub, and hopefully trace his records that way?
