Hi - maybe although my father remembers meeting them when they returned in 1958 and he thought they came home by ship

Hi Forfarian - I haven't heard of this but will Google search and see if this identifies anything.
Thank you

Thanks KGarrad (I had a Jersey connection though through work for 9 years in the 1990s!) I will check the family tree back with my father and let you know if there are other connections.

Thanks again Comberton for your help.
I purchased the passenger list information and it is indeed the family.
My father believes that my Great Uncle worked as a civil servant in Singapore for a year or so, and that he returned in 1958 (he recalls meeting him in Plymouth with the 3 children).
Do you know how I could try to trace their return back from Singapore?
Thanks

Morning KGarrad
I spoke with my father and he believes that a great grandmother of my Uncle William (Wally) was a Vanstone. We did some family history research and he's going to check this.

great thanks.....I wonder where the children were born as I believe Uncle Wally lived in Singapore and Hong Kong as a serving officer
