Please help to identify which Ship?

[anjeyelf]

I'm trying to locate the name of the ship (and any other details that are written in the ship log books) which relative of mine sailed on to get to South Africa. She was visiting her uncle in Cape South Africa.

I believe Ellen KING  born 1908 (lived in Halebank, widnes, Lancashire) travelled from Southampton to Cape in South Africa at the end of 1947. But I have no idea what ship nor the dates, but it is likely to be towards the end of that year.

She arrived back in Southampton England on 19th March 1948 sailing on the Capetown Castle.

Many thanks for your help.

hi

Yes you are correct- this is the right person who returned to Southampton in 1948, but I'm trying to find out when she went to South Africa.

Have you tried online passenger lists?

Hi
I have access to UK Incoming passenger lists, but I was hoping that someone from Rootschat would have access to Outgoing from UK passenger lists.

Ellen KING  born 1908 (lived in Halebank, Widnes, Lancashire, England, UK) travelled from Southampton to Cape in South Africa in 1947.
There is a record of an E King travelling on the Capetown Castle in 1947, which is probably the same person.

This I have found out, but I do not know the actual ddmmyy Date. She was going to stay with her uncle Henry Houghton in Capetown and I wondered if this address was part of the ships logs.
