Hi, I'm looking for Martha McCartney, born 1909 in Toxteth, Liverpool, UK. Her father was John Arthur and her mother Jane. She had a brother also John Arthur and a sister Mary Ellen. I think she sailed from London to Melbourne on 16 January 1950 on the Orontes. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Elaine

It is possible that she married after arrival as no death appears on the Ryerson Index a list of published funerals in Australia. You could research her via our resources listed at:

Hi Elaine,
Just adding this to help eliminate one ...
Here is a story of marriage of Martha McCARTNEY from Liverpool who arrived in Feb 1950. BUT it says she is youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs M.M. McCARTNEY from Liverpool, England.

I think the newspaper has possibly made an error with Martha's father's initials.
Her father was John Arthur and her mother Jane
