Hi all. Looking for help on this.
I have been researching the Henaghan name for a friend. I have her Grandfather , John Henaghan, born Northumberland in 1896.
John was in the Merchant Navy and served on the SS Radhurst, was lost at sea in 1943 when his ship was torpedoed with all crew lost. I have all details of this.
Checking seamans records I also found the CR10 record issued before 1921, which shows his Merchant Navy Indentification number: 478080
His name ,Rank and date and place of birth
On the second page ,or other side it also has his photo( great find for the family). Besides the picture there is the name " Francia with what appears to be a date 30 4 20
I can only think that the Francia is a ship.
A search shows a small cargo ship of that name.
Problem is the ship went aground and was wrecked just off the North Cornwall coast in 1917, so does not appear to corelate to the numbers or date shown
Anyone got any ideas . Would this name francia have been a ship he served on.
Is it a date shown.
Any help whatsoever appreciated.
