Voyage to Southern Rhodesia after 1901
« on: Friday 04 December 15 15:46 GMT (UK) »
Elsie Mary Millicent POW born 1884 in Bath Somerset immigrated to Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia  after 1901.

She may have been married to a Mr. Gillman when she emigrated.
Elsie Mary Millicent GILLMAN died 16 Jun 1968 in Salisbury, Zimbabwe. (formerly Southern Rhodesia )

Can anyone find a ship passenger list with her voyage to Southern Rhodesia after 1901?

Zimbabwe is a land-locked country, so you are unlikely to find that (or Rhodesia) as a destination?

Suggest you check for South Africa? Or maybe Rhodesia?
