World War Two / RASC in Vichy French North Africa

I have my grandfathers ww2 record from the MOD. I have since found out he was on the ship RMS Laconia that was torpedoed by German u boat. They were rescued by the German crew when they discovered it wasn't a troop ship. It was then bombed by the Americans he was adrift in a life boat for 5 days until he was picked up the French troop ship Glorie and taken to Casablanca.  I was wondering if anyone knew why he boarded the Laconia in Cape town? Also does anyone else know of any survivors on the laconia? Love to hear!

Hi Kit
Julia died in 1899 and thomas died 1891. You are correct Julia did marry james mcmanus in 1909 at Lowe House.
i haven't seen john marriage record before i will  look into that. I did think that record might have been Catherine marrying but thought she would be a bit old for the times. But i will check again. Thank you for looking

On 1891 census John was in young offenders place in Liverpool. Thomas was a lodger in Prescot. Same with James but not same address.

Family History Beginners Board / McCormick family from St Helens
« on: Friday 24 March 17 10:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hoping that someone more experienced than me can help. I am trying to discover what happened to a relative Catherine Mccormick or McCormack born in 1881 in St Helens. I have found her on 1881 census with her parents Thomas and Julia McCormack and her siblings James, Thomas and Julia. living at Copperas Street in St Helens. Then the trial goes cold. No marriage or death and nothing on census. Can anyone help? Much appreciated
