South African Passenger Lists?
« on: Monday 16 September 13 17:43 BST (UK) »
The following voyages feature another of my (lost) great grandaunts - this time Elizabeth Lyons. These are the UK passenger list parts of the voyage, but I am wondering if there are equivalent records on the South African side of things? I am hoping to find out which of her sisters she was visiting during these times, and where they were living.

South Africa to England, 1928
Name: Elizabeth Lyons. Birth Date: abt 1893. Age: 35. Port of Departure: Durban, South Africa. Arrival Date: 02 Apr 1928. Port of Arrival: Southampton, England. Ports of Voyage: Cape Town. Ship Name: Edinburgh Castle. Occupation: Nurse.

England to South Africa, 1929
There is a “Miss E Lyons” of 43 Beaufort Rd, Birmingham, England travelling to South Africa, departing Southampton, England on the SS Edinburgh Castle on 30 Mar 1929. She is single, and a nurse aged 36, which would put her approximate birth year as 1893. Country of intended future permanent residence is South Africa.
