Hello Brian,

I can confirm it is ss LAURENTIC.
Frederick Charles Hey b. Halifax 2.6.1874. Dis.A Number 873388.
There is s WW1 medal file for him stating dob 1894 but it is the same man. The file can be downloaded from the National Archives in Kew from piece BT 351/1/62256 - http://discovery.nationalarchives.go...ils/r/D8029729 for £3.50.
He has 6 cards in the Fourth Register of Seamen 1918-1941. His CR10 has his id photo. If he continued to serve in WW2 then there may be more records in BT 382.

131346 – OLYMPIC – 12.2.1919
140596 - REGINA – 10.9.1919
127981 – MEGANTIC – 9.11.1919
BALTIC – 22.10.1924
113476 – CELTIC - ??
BALTIC – 3.12.1930
144346 - ARABIC - ??
149642 – LAURENTIC – 22.3.1934

Other research has found him on various other ship and voyages including those listed above plus MORRO CASTLE 1904, HUBERT 1904, CANOPIC 1922, BALTIC 1923/24, REGINA 1926, CELTIC 1920/21, OLYMPIC 1919.

Regards
Hugh
