Does anyone know where I can find records for someone who served as a Coastguard at Tynemouth sometime between 1940 and 1950?

I've searched the NA but not found anything and can't find anything of any use for Tynemouth itself.

My Uncle Robert Charles Taylor (born 1898 Newport, Isle of Wight) was stationed at Tynemouth around those dates and died there in 1953. I would like to find his records if that's is possible.

So have you already checked through ADM175 from TNA site, Wendy?

If not you can download it from this page:

- just scroll down to get to the bit about ADM175

And this is their main page about Coastguards:
