HMT Robert Bowen sunk 9th October 1940

[VillageDuckpond]

Amazingly the wreck of HMT Robert Bowen (a converted trawler) has recently been discovered by divers off the Aberdeen coast.
I have a list of the crew and would very much like to contact other descendants, after all these years, if possible. Any suggestions how I could do this would be very helpful.

The families of those who died on board the trawler are named here: https://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?165595 so you could use those details to trace the families forward, perhaps starting with the 1939 Register, using the BMD indexes, electoral registers etc. Most of the crew would appear to have not been from Aberdeen. There's even one crew member from Australia.

Hi Andy and thank you for your very prompt reply.
To be fair I am already in touch with the Hopkin and Turrell descendants and my father was Arthur Stanley Wilson (the Australian but living in the UK!).
I shall certainly get onto that link you have sent me and am very appreciative.
In the past I had contact with Seaweed but it looks as if he is no longer of this world (I hope I have misunderstood the line under his name).
Again many thanks and take care
Sasha

Yes, sadly he died in August 2022.
