OOOh - thank you yet again Brenda!!

I just came on for a quick look - grand-daughter here again for the day - we have just made 'fairy cakes' and are waiting for them to cool!

I will explore properly later when she has gone home.

With all this info I MUST be able to make a connection somewhere.

Very many thanks,

MANY thanks Brenda,

I am trying to get together some intresting info for my elderly aunt - Arthur's niece, who is 86 now and quite 'poorly' - I can now look for a picture of the ship and some info on what it might have been like travelling on there at that time to send to her.

Best wishes,

Dea x
