Whatley to South Africa
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 12:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi - I am lost! Am trying to find some info about relatives - Walter Whatley and Adeline Whatley (nee Stanley) who both came from Wiltshire but? married in Birkenhead in 1910. They travelled to Uganda in 1932 where Walter worked as a manager? building railways. They seemed to travel back and forwards to Wiltshire/Uganda before settling in Wiltshire and, at one time, Walter shipped his rather large car over from Uganda? Are there passenger lists for that era?

Hi there,
Uganda is a long way from South Africa but if you look at the passenger listings on findmypast you will see that there are a number of Whatleys listed, including Adeline, bound for Mombasa.

oops - guess who took History instead of Geography!!! Sorry -was going on snippets of conversation that suddenly came forth from Aunts!! But - I have spent an - albeit expensive - but very interesting evening finding the ships etc that Adeline and Walter sailed on going to Kenya. Thank you for your help. Now found that he was a Civil Servant? Must try to find out what he actually did? One path leads to another then another............................ thanks again!
