Leading Stoker Christopher FLANAGAN

I've got a copy of a 2 page document for Christopher FLANAGAN about his time in the Royal Naval Reserve during WW1 - no doubt due to the fact that he was a merchant seaman. He was called up on 17 September 1915, and was demobilised on 18 October 1919.

It appears that during his time he was based in Dublin, however, I could, of course, be wrong.

Does anyone know what more I can find from these documents?

Hi,
Was your Christopher Flanagan born in Ireland on the 6th Dec 1879 and died 29 Sept 1926 while serving on the SS Helder? If yes, FMP have two images for him including a photo in their MN service collection.

Thanks for the tip but my Christopher Flanagan was born in Liverpool in 1890 and died in Warrington 90 years later (1980) - so not my relative.

It looks like my Flanagan sailed from Liverpool to Dublin and remained there for the rest of his time in service - unless I'm reading his record incorrectly which is entirely possible, hence my original request.

Regards

Steve
