Passenger list look-up Please

[Kelly]

Hi,

Has anyone got a subscription with find my past, who would be willing to do a look up for me please?

I have found a passenger record for an Eva Lockton born 1894. Departed London 1910 Destination Australia Brisbane.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

The only other info about her is she was aged 16yrs and a domestic servant.

Hi Sue,

Thank you for your help, it is truly appreciated.

I was hoping there may have been some more information about her. If she went to Australia on her own, would it say on the record?

Kind regards

Kelly.

[SuffolkSue]

She appears to have travelled third class and is listed with lots of other domestic servants.

Hi Sue,

Thank you for the information, it is truly appreciated.

I was hoping that she may have travelled with a family member.

Kind regards

Kelly.

Hi Sue,

Sorry to be a nuisance, but on the passenger record for Eva does it have the date she travelled and the ship name?

Kind regards

Kelly.

Sadly, the start-date is too late for you.

There should be some in-coming records, though, if we hunt around!

I'm not sure quite how much is available online. You may need to canvas for an FTF member who lives in the area to visit in person - or pay a researcher.

Hi Christine,

From what I have read so far, I don't think it is likely I will find anything online. I will have a read through all the info from the links you supplied and then see if anyone lives near the relevant archives who would be willing to help.

Thank you for all of your help, it is truly appreciated.

Kind regards

Kelly.
