Firemn. Sidney Andrew Watkins
Merchant Navy SS. Fort Brandon
from:55 Brighton Rd. Eastham, London
Looking for anyone who served with my father, Sidney A. Watkins,in the Merchant Navy.
I have his war payslips from nine vessels he served on whilst in merchant navy; SS Tudor Star,SS Fort Brandon, SS Vimeira, SS Lornaston, SS Calgary, SS Norman Star, SS Port Sydney, SS Ocean Volga, SS Oceanfame, SS Empire Pibroch
While serving on SS Tudor Star he got a letter from the Admiralty thanking the crew for shooting down enemy planes on 4th February 1941.
I am trying to build a family tree and fill in missing links through war years, before he came to New Zealand in 1947/8 aboard the SS. Port Maquarie.
I am trying to establish, for his children, grand and great grand childern, this part of his history. I would be grateful for any information anyone can provide
