During the past week, Findmypast has added a mix of newspapers, parish records and Merchant Navy records.
Britain, Merchant Seamen, 1918-1941
Nearly 5,000 records have been added into this existing collection, known for its biographical detail, physical descriptions, and often photographs. The more than one million records in the collection include British merchant seamen stationed all over the world.
British India Office: Births & Baptisms and Marriages
Even more records have been added into these two existing collections, where you could uncover if your ancestor married in British India, or had children there. It’s also possible to find residences and professions.
