Can you help with these Ocean arrivals references?!

[cavair]

Ive just been sorting out some old notebooks and found this reference to Ocean arrivals 1919-24, but headed "Sask"  probably meaning the person was headed for Saskatchewan,  but ive no idea where i found these references. Probably relating to the surname BANKS.

Mikan (?) no 161349    Microform t-14591, page 2262
t-14851, page 99,  24 March 1928 SS Melita

Moral of the of the story is make proper notes with sources!!
If anyone knows what documents, probably found online,  these might refer to, please let me know!!   see attached copy of my notes!
Thankyou so much.

Could it have come from Ancestry, they have "Canada, Ocean Arrivals (Form 30A), 1919-1924" ?

The t numbers are National Archives' microfilm numbers.

The Melita arrived on 26 March 1928, not the 24th. It had sailed out of Antwerp, Southampton and Cobh, bound for Saint John, New Brunswick.

On the Melita, there is a Richard Banks age 46 (dob approx 1882, Dover) with wife Victoria (1898, London) and daughter (1926 Portsmouth) and son (2 months).  Sailing from Southampton bound for Grand Forks BC.  Contact UK address 4 Queen St. Lane, Queen St., Dover.

Hi,

Agree with eileenwilson, it is from the National Archives (Library and Archives Canada).

Mikan No. 161349, microform No. t-14951 page 2262 gives you Canada, Oceans Arrivals Form 30A for
a Richard Nightingale Banks arriving on the ship the Montcalm in 1923.

Mikan No. 134836, microform No. t-14851 page 99 gives you the passenger list for the ship
the Montclare from Liverpool to Saint John, New Brunswick arriving in 1928.

Mikan No. 134836, microform No. t-14851 page 522 is the start of the manifest for
the ship the Melita arriving Saint John, New Brunswick March 26, 1928.
The Banks' family that RayDen found are on page 543.
