alf mcm Posted 29 January , 2017 Share Posted 29 January , 2017 Sam, Ancestry have a set of records entitled 'Web UK, Chinese Maritime Customs Services Index, 1854-1950' This gives basic details for each person, then leads to an external website. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritime17 Posted 29 January , 2017 Share Posted 29 January , 2017 Thanks very much Alf McM! I shall check it out. Do you have a family connection to the CMC? All the best, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maritime17 Posted 31 January , 2017 Share Posted 31 January , 2017 Hi barkalotloudly, My Grandfather's name was Thomas Neil Davis. He was a Second Class Tidewaiter from 1921 to 1924. His port of departure was Tientsin. Much appreciated! Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
