Ordering copiesAll CR10 cards shown on this website are reproduced by permission of Southampton Archives Services Civic Centre Southampton SO14 7LY Tel. (023) 8083 2251 Email: Website: www.southampton.gov.uk/archives/ They can provide copies of the cards in various formats. The original CR10 cards are 5 inches by 3 inches in size, which is a bit small to do justice to many of the photographs. I would suggest that you ask for an enlargement of the original on a Laser A4 photocopy. This will make the most of the photo and the card will be in colour. Current cost (July 2008) is £1.25 for each side which makes the overall cost of the card £2.50 plus postage and a search fee of £2 if you quote the full name and id no. Southampton also hold seaman records from 1921 to 1941.(CR1 and CR2 series). The Discharge A Number is used as the numerical identifier for the seaman and the id no was dropped. Just under half of the CR10 cards examined so far include the Discharge A number which can help when post 1921 records are sought. Southampton can advise you of the search fee involved in checking these records for you. Southampton Archives Opening Hours Tuesday. 12.30 pm to 4.30 pm Wednesday and Thursday. 9.30 am to 4.30 pm |
