There is a list of merchant navy. They are under the Royal Navy Reserve. But he’s not there.

One part of his ‘story’ is he took off prior to the war, but his wife was still having children....... I know.......but I don’t want to go there....lol

Merry, I found his son on 1939 register, but it’s closed. I can’t find his wife Edith. There is another Edith but she’s single.

The middle initial is wrong in 1939, but the dob matched her death and the son has all the right details.

I just read the papers did not print names of deserters.

I gave no proof he deserted anyway. The story goes he took off before actually going to war, but as the third child was born 1941, I doubt that. I don’t think Edith ever remarried as her will says Melhuish.

I don’t even know if he actually disappeared at all...........but I can’t find anything after his marriage.
