Looking for Grandfather
Hi there,
I’m trying to find my grandfather who may be deceased now. I do not have his name, but the information that I have is that he was born and raised in county Wexford Ireland. He was born in approximately 1943 and joined the merchant Navy in his late teens early 20s as a mechanic where he served seven years before becoming a as a civilian. He is described as being 5 foot three with ginger hair, blue eyes and pale skin. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Re: Looking for Grandfather
Hello Angelina
Thank you for the Posting and your Question.
However i am sure you must know or be aware of, that without a Name it would be virtually impossible to even try and guess at where to start looking.
Think you may need to go to Scotland Yard! LOL (Joke)
So unless you can come up with a Name even possibly just the Surname, that would at least start the ball rolling.
Sorry cannot help at this stage
Cheers
