I have important documents and I want your help

(spelling of middle name amended)

Post #1 has the name "Sharif Ahmed Alawi" on it.

I think that the OP (Gaming) needs a translator.

I am not a translator, so I am leaving this topic for othere, until one comes along.

I'm asking you questions that you, or your father, should at least have an idea about not anything you can find online. So, for the last time...

1) was your father raised in South Shields area, in England or elsewhere?
2) was his mother Mary Jane Williamson?
3) did his father die in 1928?

If you aren't willing to answer questions then I will leave it for others to help.

My father asked me and said yes in the southern armor area South Shields
But he does not know the details

During my research I deduced this
But there are no more details

Just found an online tree which might explain the confusion over Mary Williamson/Marshall. Her parents are shown to have married after her birth.

I found a document in which he holds British nationality

Is this a cafe I did not understand the written
Can be written in English

This document appears to be an Argentinian seaman’s book, apparently issued by the ship’s captain. No date is shown so I can’t comment on when it was issued but it appears to show that Chief Ahmed joined the vessel SS Twyford at Barry (which is in Wales). It does say that his nationality was British but that document was not issued by a competent British authority and so has no value in terms of proving he was a British citizen. (And you would have to wonder why, if he was a British citizen, he was traveling on an Argentinian document).

So I still see no convincing evidence that your ancestor was a British citizen.

I didn't notice this post earlier but that makes things more confusing?

I don't know what to make of it
