Ship passenger lists - Buchanan

[bfr89x]

Is it possible to view ship passenger lists from 1890 - 1900. I believe George Buchanan from Croftamie, Dumbartonshire sailed to, and returned from, South Africa during this period. I don't know which port he sailed from or returned to.
Does anyone know how I can verify this?

Ancestry has UK Incoming ships records from South Africa but these records don't always give much information eg 8 July 1903 a Mr G Buchanan, over 12 yrs,  arrived in Southampton from Durban, South Africa on the Warner Castle. He was Scotch. 
Other records give an age, occupation and the  'proposed address' in the United Kingdom.
If you can give more details about his age and occupation perhaps someone will be able to help.

Thank you excel - George Buchanan, a carpenter/joiner, was born in 1867 and his intended address in Scotland would have been a village called Croftamie.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Trish,
Thanks a million, this helps a lot. As an infant in this game I was not aware of such a database. Is there a similar one for entering the UK?
Many many thanks.

Hi Ron
Your very welcome, I do have membership so let me know if I can help with other searches 1890-1960.

No there is no return list.

Hi

I also am looking for a family of Buchanan's that went over to South Africa.

The census for Scotland only goes to 1901 so I know it was after that, I know they were there by 1915. The family lived in Angus, Scotland and the parents owned a business in Durban, South Africa.

I am looking for Donald Buchanan & Alice Buchanan (parents),
with children/adults: John, William (wife: Emily), Alfred, Daniel, David, Alice & Gertrude

Is there anybody that can help

Hi

Can you give a birth year for Donald & occupation, the are 142 results for Donald with no birth year, so it will narrow it down a little.
