I will be happy if my great granddads index card is at Southampton,if not then i will try Newfoundland, would be interested if he was on board when the Wenning collided with the Yolkfleet. |

I hope you find the details at Southampton. My own experience of finding these records has been from microfim at Kew. I think that more are held than the 10% sample, certainly after 1912. |

Thanks Julie. If you or your friends have ancestors in Yorkshire i can do the same for you and visit a west yorkshire archives centre, I have a lot of experience with yorkshire genealogy as i am almost all Yorkshire through and through. |

Will take a look and see what they have for you. The opening hours of the archives have been reduced so will probably be Wednesday or Thursday. |

Thanks Gwyn,thats the index card i am after and a photo of my Great Granddad when he was young would be a bonus and also would be interested on what ships he served on before WW1 as i will be able to find him using the CLIP website in which i found my Great Great Granddad Thomas Davis. |

I have been to Southampton and asked for Merchant Navy records and for us the information was all on one index card. |
