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.


Prefer this date and please translate it

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

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

I don't know what to make of it  ???

I was more perturbed that the first document in post 1 was dated 1934, 6 years after the OPs grandfather died.

The Argentinian record also gives whoever it is as single in 1927 and aged 24, so wrong marital status and too young to be born in 1898.

It's possible that all the documents don't refer to the same person.

This is all making less and less sense. Yes, your grandfather could have been known by various names (or different versions of the same name) but not in 1934 if he died in 1928...

I was more perturbed that the first document in post 1 was dated 1934, 6 years after the OPs grandfather died.

The Argentinian record also gives whoever it is as single in 1927 and aged 24, so wrong marital status and too young to be born in 1898.
