Writing and meaning - Crew list
« on: Tuesday 27 February 24 11:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi, can anyone explain what is being stated on line 182 please?  This is a crew list for the Majestic in 1900

It looks like "He failed to join"

Arh, yes that would make sense, thank you.

ShaunJ - had just looked at it again and come to the same conclusion! Are the three letters before, Lve, short for Leave? As in he failed to return from Shore Leave?

I think the first three letters are Lpl, for Liverpool - the place where he 'Failed to join'.

It did indeed leave Liverpool so this is most likely, thank you
