Help with Walter Noel Rees b1887 Merthyr Tydfil

[Jeffrey]

This must be the one I have got:-
1952 May 28  from Southampton arriving New York 2 June 1952 on Queen Elizabeth. Arriving June 2nd 1952
In Transit to Canada.
Walter Noel Rees aged 65. Occupation Engineer. Residing in the UK at 32 Westbourne Park Road. London.

BUT without the Married bit which is quite significant!

I have not got a death for him but feel it must be abroad (not England or Wales) or the time he spends on the Queen Elizabeth maybe 'at sea'

That must be her surely. But why has she got Noel in her name - maybe mistranscribed.

My head is buzzing tonight so shall have to sleep on all of the information. But have put it all in a document so I can see where they travelled in which year.

Thank you.

Hi Sandra,
Can you just  confirm they were all travelling together as on the copy of this I have then I can not see them together.

Haven't done a 'quote before so hope it comes out OK.

Thanks
Judy

Hi there.

There are 2 pages to the passenger record. On the 2nd page E Gorman is given as a rellie in the country from whence came and their destination is to the daughter/sister in Georgia. It is only Walter and his son who are on the ship.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but you might check if your local library subscribes to Ancestry Library Edition as this should give you access to the images of the records (of passenger lists, at least) that have been posted here, although as you mention you have the record discussed herein, it seems you might have access? In that case just look at the next page  .

Hi Judy,
   This is quite surreal but I was just scanning on the internet to find abit more information about my great grandfather and a came across your post, Walter Noel Rees is my great grandfather and Illtydd Rees is my grandfather, his daughter Heather is my mother. I've just shown my gran Marjorie Rees these posts and quite alot of the information posted on here is correct. We are looking to build up our family tree so it would be good to see where your family ties in, and my gran would be happy to help with yours.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,
Have sent you a personal message so you can get in touch.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Judy

Just a PS to this message Phil - I have to send you a personal message with my e-mail address as any contact e-mails can not be posted on the public site as they get removed.

For you to send a personal message I think you have had to have sent two posts - I am sure the others reading this will correct me if I am wrong.

Hello

I am rather late to the table and assume Phil has given you all the information.  I am Noel's daughter Patricia.
