Some information about the SS Alaunia
-
The newspaper Somerset Standard ran an article on 02 July 1965 of the homecoming party Alfred's siblings threw for him. The article also has a photograph of Alfred and all his siblings, as well as information on his children, and Mr. Treasure.
If you have no access to this newspaper, send me a pm., as I can't post it here (per copyright).
Edited to add: The article makes it sound like he only returned for a 2 month visit, and then was returning to Canada.

Thanks for that, I did find that cutting and others. I am grateful to all for the help.
