Fife / Arthur Granville ADAM - born ?
« on: Thursday 17 March 11 03:30 GMT (UK)  »
Searching for birthplace circa 1854/55/56

Allegedly Fifeshire,Scotland
....but on b/c of his first child in 1886 it says he was born Mt Nebo,Ireland

He married Shropshire 1885 to Gertrude Emilie JONES
They went to Australia and their first child was born Sydney,New South Wales in 1886.

Arthur Granville ADAM was son of William ADAM "Soldier" of 72nd Highlanders and I presume was posted to various places inc Scotland,Ireland & India.

« on: Monday 31 May 10 13:41 BST (UK)  »
Seeking details of an Australian arrival on ship "RUAHINE" (NZ Shipping Company Ltd) that departed Port of London on 19 August 1942 bound for New Zealand.

Ruahane - Official number 124582. Captain/Master A.F. LETTINGTON

Aboard was an "Australian" James H ROBERTS aged 61 "Engineer"  (Ticket Number 941) listed as Tourist whose last address in England was 26 Montague Street,Russell Square,London....could possibly be a Hotel ???

Q1 What Australian ports did ship visit on route to New Zealand ?
