Date Posted: 26/03/08 11:21pm In reply to: Sasha Wilson 's message, "Merchant Navy Discharge Number" on 26/03/08 5:44pm Following the closure of the Third Seamen's Register in 1857 no central register of seamen was kept for 56 years. The Board of Trade felt that the Agreements and Crew Lists provided an adequate means of recording information about the seamen without the need to create a separate register. The Fourth Register of Seamen, 1918-1941 The Fourth Register, (Central Indexed Register), was started in October 1913 and continued until 1941. Unfortunately the entries for 1913-1918 were destroyed therefore the register covers the actual period 1918-1940. Copies of the registry cards are held on microfiche within the National Archives; the original cards are held by Southampton City Archive. Please contact Southampton, (details given below), if you want to obtain copies from the original cards. The odds on finding anything for 1919 will be low but you wont know unless you try.
