	I am trying to find information on my gg grandfather. His name was Thomas Croston ,born 1882. He was a fireman in merchant navy. He rcceived 2 Mercantile medals for ww1. We have got what looks like a passport ( in those days) He was sailing on a ship called Victoria arrived somewhere 17 May 1919. I have tried to look up this vessel, but can`t seem to find any info on it. Hope someone on gr can find any information for me. thank you. ;-)

	I think the second one may have been his. The first seemed more ww2 era.
