Title: Incoming passenger list
Post by: Dannemois on Friday 29 June 18 17:35 BST (UK)
William Thomas (boxer) returned to UK in 1932 after a 2 year tour of Australia.  Travelling with him was likely his wife Mary and daughter Carrie.  Can someone please check passenger list for this family, for exact date, name of ship etc.  I would appreciated any details.

Kind Regards, Roy

How old would each member of the family have been?

There are a few William Thomas passengers but none described as a boxer.

There is a Mrs Mary Thomas and a Miss Caroline Thomas together but ages will help confirm if they are yours.

William Thomas would have been 26, wife Mary 24 and baby daughter born 1932.

That's the one Rosie and the ages match.

I wonder if we could find a William Thomas matching that home address?  He may have travelled before or after her.

No me neither.  William Thomas the policeman keeps cropping up but no boxers.
