I was always told that my great uncle Robert Codnor Dodds emigrated to Australia with his wife Betty. They then apparently moved to New Zealand where he died. His wife and his daughter Ada then returned to the UK, with my Grandfather going to fetch them home.
I have found an outbound passenger list on FMP which matches:- R C Dodds aged 27 occupation Farmer and Mrs E Dodds aged 30 are on board the Gothic sailing from London to Fremantle Departing from London on 29th February 1912. ( I am a little confused as it says destination port Fremantle, but Ship's destination Sydney )
I am unsure exactly when Elizabeth and Ada returned to England - I suspect it was somewhere between 1924 and 1935 but there is no one left to ask :(
Can anyone tell me where to start looking for information to confirm the story any further please?
