He would seem to be john Peter

Birth date 29 Oct 1882
Birth place Bermuda

He joined in 1899 and served on several vessels

His reason for leaving is given as RUN !!

So seems he deserted

Note his birth day and month agrees with the 1939 reg but the year is 1882 not 1884

Looks like John Peter has thrown a spanner in the works, I have to go over all the responses slowly to hopefully resolve.

Argy11Gran

His m cert of 1912 has him as 25 which makes born 1887.
Could the 1939 reg be wrong even with the day written?
I'm getting confused.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 22 Jan 2019 13:10

DOB's on 1939 register aren't always correct.

Human error in writing the date, or misinformation.

Hi Maddie
You are still trying for me,thank you.
Quick question, going back to my post do you think it is possible to find anything on the wife of Thomas, she was born in Bermuda. Its possible they married there.

There's this info from the Bermuda National Library:
