Bridget's father's occupation was Labourer

Henry Charles Leek born 1902 Hong kong, his father was also Henry Charles Leek born Deptford Kent 1871.( Merchant Navy?) I think his father may have also been Henry Charles Leek. If anyone can help me with this search or any information on any the Leeks in Deptford Kent, it would be much appreciated.
Also how to get information on the British Merchant Navy. Crew Lists, Records etc.
