If any of your ancestore were in the MN some merchant navy discharge papers have photos on them but are difficult to locate as some archives are in Canada depending on the years, but you could try
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp

put the name of the seaman in the top box "word or phrase" in this form Surname Initial IE Powell D
then in the lowest box "Department or series code"
write BT 372
You'll get a list of all seamen with the surname and place of birth. The date attached to the record is the d.o.b. of the seaman not the registration date. From there you can order the docs for 6pounds 50 for 5 jpegs. They come to your email address within a couple of hours if you order before 13.00

Lots of useful links here for Military research
