Help needed to track a relative possibly in the navy??

[Antdamm]

Hi there,

I have a relative born June 1938 in Birmingham, named Joseph Eric Hanson (his birth name was Weake)

I have what I believe is a service number - 93423, was written as DJ/93423, d/j93423 and also DSS/93423, it may or may not have a 1 on the end of the number.

In an address book belonging to him, he has listed HMS Eagle, HMS Mess. Drake? and HMS Anchorite for returning the book to him if it was lost. He had o/sea and AB written before his name for returning the book.

There are some other number/letter combinations, such as 2t2 and J63.

He was married in Dunoon, Scotland and may have been stationed there. Was divorced in Plymouth, so may have been stationed there also.

Have had a look on the national archives site, but no luck.

Can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks

Perhaps start with his death and then work back through the records.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am unable to find a death cert for him

Is it that you aren't sure he is dead or that you just haven't found a death certificate?

We aren't allowed to post queries or details about living, or possibly living, people and from the year of birth he could still be alive.
