There are very few records held for Seamen at the Record Office, however a visit to the Maritime Museum - or even an initial enquiry, will tell you if there is anything held at Liverpool or whether at Kew, Portsmouth or even in Canada where many records have been taken to the repository there.

Meantime check out the new National Archives Discovery Search which is newly updated and has many new records. http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI
