Hi,

I am new to this site. Trying to find a way to look up the crew list on HMS Suffolk, before the war. Then I was wondering if there was a site somewhere where you could enter a seaman's name & come up with all the ships he sailed on. I know my father was on the Suffolk in China, but do not know where he went after that, ie: which ship he was assigned to during the war. It is difficult as I am in Canada. Any help would be beneficial.

Thanks

H King

Hi Go to the national Archives site put in your fathers name and press search it will give you the records of all people with that name if you know his offical number put that in bingo up it comes part record that is then if you pay £3.50p what ever in canadian dollars the will email you the record of his naval history it comes in adobe file and you get 28days to download it I use it and its worth it,

Hello everyone

Please let me know if I am looking in the right place but whenever I go to the National Archives site I am told they do not hold records of seamen serving after 1923.

John any records after 1923 are held by MOD and you have to go through the Veterans agency via www.veteransagency.mod.uk hope this helps by the way they make a small charge Rom:)
