Good find - no birthyear or age shown on Ancestry entry hence no trace

Hello Keyboard86, thanks great & now the pieces are coming together, Sailed out in 1950, so must be another incoming list somewhere ? Sailed out again this time to Hong Kong from Southampton & then returned 1960 from South Africa, Keyboard86, does your finding give much information, did he travel on his own, was it first class anything really.

Thanks again

John

Brilliant Thanks Keyboard86, just one thing If I may, throw this to you,
9/9/1950 William & Alice Sail out together
19/9/1952 William & Alice return Together

3/6/1959   William travels on his own
26/2/1960 William & Alice return to Southampton Together Alice must have travelled with him.
Is it possible she may have been somewhere else on the Passenger List ?
I will check a fourth time, but something does not add up ..
Thoughts please

Thanks Keyboard86, I did not have that record, there must be possibly another record (s) because it is either of William travelling out on his own or Alice travelling out on her own, is it possible for me to view these records or for me to copy them into my Ancestry Line KeyBoard86
To recap; I now have 5 sailings, William & Alice out & Return
William out on his own
William & Alice return
& Now thanks to you I now have Alice returning on her own..

Thoughts !!
