 Wales and Ireland . My brickwall ancestor comes from  Barry S. Wales.  My grandfather whose signature reads Mickel Edvard Artur REINE gives  various birth years from 1882/1883/1884 Says his father, Adrian  is of England  and names his mother as Mary (P) US *EN on the 1909 Marriage Registration. No Birth Registration found. He also spoke Welsh. Isle of Man also figures. I have tried  various combiniations The latest one  is REYNISCH as that says its anglicized as REIN. I have half heartedly tried PREIN/ BRIEN..searching since 1979...dribs and drabs of information. Mickel had a sister Mildred and brother Paul or Alexander. Family names of Lionel/Basil are what I consider different christian names. Co Down and Co Armagh Co Monaghan Co Antrim my Irish kin of which I've had better success with there spotty records than the UK's! Is a Seance in order.. Helpppppppp

GooseyLucy.

I don't know if this will help, but My Maternal Grandfather went to Canada(to visit friends & Relatives) @1920 & He got there (& Back) by working his passage as a Stoker.

So, You could try looking at Crew Lists?   

Thank you Pegauss I will give that a jolly good look at.  He was in Argentina for a while I assume.

Here is an Extract from the site:

"The CLIP database reached over 260,000 entries from crew lists - only a small percentage of all the records, but it's the largest crewlist database there is. The data includes the indexes made at Bristol, Flintshire and Somerset record offices (with permission).
 
NEW! We're delighted to say that the CLIP crew names index can now be searched online at findmypast."

Very useful, but a century or more too late for me. Some of my Luffman relatives were present in Newfoundland c1780, as the family name is at its least uncommon in Dorset Somerset and Wiltshire I think it likely they migrated from there, Dorset being the most likely, but as usual I have totally failed to make a connection.

I To need crews from Liverpool, I didn't find the Person who I am looking for, so he must be in the list to be done at some time. Thank you Pegasuss for supplying a site to look at.
