Return Home to England circa 1909
« on: Tuesday 27 June 17 00:51 BST (UK) »
Thomas Challinor, b circa 1891, left New Zealand to return to Llangollen, Wales in 1909-11.

He had emigrated to New Zealand in 1908 with his father, also Thomas, and his younger brother Arthur. I cannot seem to find him in ship passenger lists. Any suggestions? I have an Ancestry membership.

There is a probate for his father here:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS7W-X9RS?i=274&cc=1865481&cat=2240878

And at the New Zealand national archives site, there are military records for Arthur, and his father Thomas.

There is a tree on Ancestry, which looks well researched, with Thomas's details.

https://www.ancestry.com.au/family-tree/person/tree/62842010/person/30216122000/facts

Unfortunately, on further checking, this tree has different people on the 1901 and 1911 censuses. The 1911 record is a different family.

Is it possible that Thomas worked his passage to England? He wouldn't then appear on passenger forms.
