Singapore to Hampshire
« on: Tuesday 21 November 17 18:58 GMT (UK) »
I don't know if anyone can help. This is a long shot. My mother is 88 & has Alzheimer's, so trying to get any info on my childhood is very restricted.
I was born in Hampshire but emigrated to Singapore at a very early age 1-2 with my mother to meet our father who was working there. We lived in Singapore for about two years.
We moved back to Bournemouth in about 1954 -1956 (April). I am looking for a passenger list for an aircraft, unfortunately don't know the name. As we flew back, with my mother Jean Fear + 2 children. Not sure if our father was on the flight with us. 
Any help would be gratefully received.

I will PM to confirm names of children.

Regards Trish.

I would doubt very much that any such lists exist. If any do then they are unlikely to be on line.

Do you have an older brother or sister who was old enough to go to school in Singapore?

If so, get in touch with singaporeschool.reunion@gmail.com

They probably won't know about passenger on flights, but they may be able to point you towards other useful sources.

(I was myself at school in Singapore between 1947 and 1950.)

Similar situation myself. Left Southampton for Singapore late 1940's. On the Passenger Manifest on site on Internet.
Coming back to Southampton. Nothing.
