Date Posted: 16/10/07 2:26pm In reply to: Billy McGee 's message, "Re: S.S. MARCONI (LIVERPOOL)" on 16/10/07 2:08pm Judith, His service might be a bit more tricky to track down as he died so early into 1941. It is possible his files may not of been updated from the Fourth to the Fifth Register. If they are still in the Fourth Register this would need a visit to Kew or Southampton 1913 to 1940 Fourth Register of Merchant Seaman's service. These records are available at The National Archives at Kew and are held on Microfiche in the following classifications BT 348: Register of Seamen, Central Index, Numerical Series (CR 2), BT 349: Register of Seamen, Central Index, Alphabetical Series (CR 1) and BT 350: Register of Seamen, Special Index, Alphabetical Series (CR 10). These three classes were combined in one classification namely BT 364 Register of Seaman, Combined Numerical Index (CR1, CR 2 & CR 10) and were made up by extracting combinations of cards from the other three classes. The original records for the above named classifications are now held at the following address: Southampton Archives, Southampton City Council, South Block, Civic Centre, Southampton, S014 7LY. This office is open Tuesdays to Fridays 9.30am to 4.30pm, with one late evening opening each month. There is no charge for a personal visit. Alternatively enquiries for information from the records may be made by post, e-mail or fax but there will be a charge for this. Alternatively: BT 382. The Fifth Register of Seaman’s Service 1941 to 1972. Records of individual Merchant Seamen's sea service details are held in alphabetical surname order at The National Archives at Kew and can be downloaded direct to your computer. These details include the following information: Name of seaman, Date and place of birth, Discharge (Seaman’s) book number, Rank, Details of the ships on which he served. These include: Name of ship and official number, date of engagement (Joining ship), Date of discharge (Leaving ship), whether ship was a foreign going of home trade vessel, and records in some cases National Insurance contributions. Details shown in these records are similar to those contained in an individual seaman's discharge book. I'll let you take time to absorb this information so far and will explain how to order online if necessary from the Fifth Register, depending on where you wish to start your research.
