Sorry, didn't realise someone had already mentioned them.
I just came across it when I was doing an Ancestry search for something - up popped an Incoming Passenger list result.
To find recent additions:
Ancestry - Home page.
At the bottom where the census years are listed, click on See all databases
On next screen, bottom of right hand column - recent website additions
You can choose whether to include databases originating outside the UK if you wish.Elaine

I couldn't find it on the UK site, even by searching "all databases", but I found it on the Australian site:

The "Port of Departure" listed on the results list is not always the same as the "Port of Embarkation" on the image, as I have just found out - I wondered how come my rellie Kathleen D Hewitt was coming here from Yokohama in 1936 and never mentioned that trip in her autobiography, but looking at the image, although the ship had come from Yokohama, she only got on at Gibraltar!KiteRunner

I don't even know who to look for next! I only tried out Kathleen Douglas Hewitt because I thought she would be easy to find, but I bet there are a few of mine somewhere in there...KiteRunner

Found some of my Baumberger family and of course some more juicy stuff about my Goulson family.http://www.flickr.com/photos/50125734@N06/

I'm a bit taken aback by that. My dad was Australian, my mum was English, they married in England after the war and went out to live in Australia. My mum didn't settle, and they came back to the UK just before I was born. I always thought the move back to the UK was intended to be permanent, but on the passenger list, under "country of intended future permanent residence" (defined in a footnote as a year or more) it says (instead of England) "Other part of the British Empire" - presumably Australia. But they never went back.

I see you can only view the details if you have Ancestry.com ..... not .UK.
I can get the names up but not the details.

I'm totally staggered. My family history is laid out before me!
Great-grandfather the sea-captain coming back to England for the last time in 1897
Grandfather, grandmother and infant father returning from Calcutta
Father mother and infant brother returning from Nigeria
And my globe-trotting great-aunt crossing the Atlantic about 20 times in the 1920's and 30's.
And that's just one surname!Uncle John - Passed away March 2020
