Can you help? Cunard crew lists 1911

[Tomliverpool]

hello

I am doing some research on my Great Grandfather who worked for Cunard Line as a Ships Stoker in 1911. I am trying to find out what ships he worked on. I know there are passenger lists but not sure about crew lists. Any help or advise would be really appreciated

Thanks Tom

There is some information which might help here

There is a website called Ships Nostalgia where they can give a lot of links to where crew lists,  career lists are filed.   Mostly deals with merchant marine but there are always new members trying to trace the history of relatives.  You might look it up and figure out where to post your query.  Most of the members are Brits….

My sister is a research librarian/historian/museum curator and said:

A gazillion people may already have suggested this, but . . .

 

Ancestry.com includes crew lists, where applicable. Enter the person’s name and any useful details, and when the list of available documents comes up, his/her appearance on crew lists will be included. (Of course, there may hundreds of John Smiths, so here’s hoping for a more distinctive name!)

 

Ancestry is usually available for use without charge in  public libraries — but take a notebook because the information won’t be saved.

You may find him on the 1915 crew lists at the National Maritime Museum. https://1915crewlists.rmg.co.uk

 

There are also some crew lists available for US ports on www.familysearch.org (free, but you need to create an account)

Thank you so much for all your help. I haven't yet found anything yet about my Great Grandfather Joseph Toole but have found out his father was a Stoker on the Cunard Catalonia in 1890 and a Coal Trimmer on Cunard Servia in 1892 apparently his wage was £4. 10 shillings a month. He emigrated from Dublin to Liverpool to seek his fortune.

Thank you all once again. Research ongoing

These are two groups that might be able to help you.  I do know Worldshipny had many memebers that were extremely knowledgeable about the history of oceanliners includingcrews & officers.

 

Good luck!!!

I've found a Joseph Toole, Trimmer, age 36, arriving in New York in 1923 on the Carmania from Liverpool.

 

If that sounds likely to be him I can narrow the search using ~1887 as a DOB.

Hi Colin

Many thanks for the research and info. He was born in July 1887  so does sound very hopeful
