Title: gertrude May Carton born 1903/1904 Birmingham England
Post by: queenswood 1 on Tuesday 10 May 22 21:12 BST (UK)

I am trying to find out anything about Gertrude who emigrated to Freemantle Western Australia on 21st November 1935. She sailed from Southampton on the Jervis bay with the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line. She was single and a domestic- and would love to know anything about what happened to her once she arrived.
Thank you.

There is a tree on Ancestry - have you seen it?  She married Albert Goodrum & died 2000

Photos of her as well

Albert was b 1899 Durham - outgoing passenger list shows he emigrated 1925
