Did anyone else get an email recently from FMP promoting their Merchant Seaman records - featuring the youngest? merchant seaman - Eric Granville Abbott - whose dob was recorded as 15th May 1905
I thought he looked a little older than the reported 13 years in the 1919 photo - so out of curiosity checked his birth registration - which turned out to be SEP qtr of 1901
The 1911 census had him as a 9 year old scholar
FMP blogged about him back in 2011 - surprised they haven't done the basics of genealogy and checked all sources - have emailed them - but can't believe I'm the first person to pick this up
