Find Ancestors

Hi Ann,

I couldn't see anything for Henry born 1871. Other than looking on The National Archives I'm not sure.

For Henry born 1927 I would go to this site as it tells you what you need to do;

Henry born 1927 did he go to Australia after marrying a Dorothy Kember...... if so someone has a tree on ancestry.

Hi Dee,
Im needing Navy records for Henry Charles leek (born 1871) around 1902 and Army records for Henry Charles Leek (born 1926) who was in the army in 1947. Thanks

I think my Great grandfather Henry Charles Leek, might have been in the Merchant Navy around 1902 as his son was born in Hong kong at this time . Family members have always thought this was the case. Not sure if this is correct as I have had no luck in finding anything.

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.

Bridget's father's occupation was Labourer
