England / Cr 10 seaman history
« on: Wednesday 09 January 19 20:36 GMT (UK) »
All,
This is my first post as judt registered this minute after finding this forum discussing cr 10 which I only discovered existed when looking for info on cr 2. A friend pulled up the cr2 from findmypast and it has a number which seems to read Dis. A R 15511 not sure if an R and has date of engagement 5 nov 1926 and ship's name is
Montnairn which was at that time sailing under can pacific line.
The cr 1, has his name Charles Douglas Ross Merry dob 1903 and bottom printed line reads
(M4200) 11302/122 50m 9/21 1941 G&S 151 2
Reverse has declaration: I hereby certify that I have not hitherto received a Continuous certificate of discharge for the following reason: 1st ship previous voyage Disc. SS Montnairn
Dated 29 nov 1926 MMO office stamp.
So I am thoroughly confused as I don't know how long he was a seaman, I do know firsthand that he had at least once reached Montreal or Quebec but when that happened I have no idea.
Would love to know more about his early life so if anyone has any helpful info that might lead me to discover the facts and understand what these records are telling us (cr1, cr2) the discrepancy between dates and if tgere is a cr 10 with a photo out there I would love to hear from you. Thanks for reading and hopefully someone knows more.
Cheers
