My grandad went missing in 1940's presumed dead after 7 years.

How can I find that record?

He was Henry Oribine born April 1918 in Greenock, Scotland. His father was David Oribine his mother was Margaret Sweeney they married in 1914 in Greenock.

I believe Henry known as Harry was in the services in WW ll. Maybe Merchant seaman?

Can anyone suggest were to look?

Can any one help.

Very interesting!

The mothers maiden name was Sweeney. She was Margaret Sweeney!
