With regards to Ancestry vs FindMyPast, I'm afraid it's swings and roundabouts.  For example, FindMyPast has outbound passenger lists, whilst Ancestry has inbound passenger lists    I subscribe to both, which can get a wee bit pricey, but I justify it that since we've had our son, we don't have a social life so the money that would have been spent going out is now spent looking for rellies!

I'm guessing that Harry and Ernest might have emigrated, but I would post a question on the relevant emigration board and see what those clever people can come up with!

Thank you so, so much for all your time and effort   

Looks like Daniel was a bit posh, first rellie I have had to travel 1st class!! This gives me a whole new path to follow now, many thanks. (Poor old Ethel can go on the back burner for a while!)

Thought it might be the case that FindMyPast complements rather than replaces Ancestry; will have to think about subscribing. I too don't get out much these days - we have a 16 month old daughter, say no more. It took me months to get back to my family tree after having her as I just didn't have the brain function or memory for it! Thankfully it is slowly returning.......

Our son is 13 months old, so I'm with you on brain function 

It's a shame that the passenger list with Daniel on the Queen Elizabeth wouldn't open - it would be interesting to see whether he had put UK as place of last residence or somewhere else.


And as for Albert!  Can you imagine what it must have been like as a 24 year old to travel 1st class.  Especially as his brothers who had gone to Canada all travelled 3rd.

Oh dear, speaking of brain function - I meant Albert not Daniel, hehe!
