I can see no sign of Lilian in the UK after 1911, so am posting this as a suggestion.

Perhaps she decided to visit/join her father, in spite of his having abandoned his family

Having checked the image, I see travelling on the same voyage, and listed just above Lilian is a Mrs M Bywater, aged 49, so probably not 'your' Lilian, as the age for Mrs M would be wrong for HER mother

Hi Jacqueline,

Thank you so much for looking, I'll keep those facts in mind just in case.

I've checked freebmd for births for any Lilian Bywaters born in the 1890's and there is only a few:


Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Mar 1892 (>99%)
Bywater Lilian Sheffield 9c 553 Scan available - click to view
Births Mar 1894 (>99%)
Bywater Lilian Elsie Basford 7b 216 Scan available - click to view
Births Dec 1895 (>99%)
Bywater Lilian Emily O Builth 11b 63 Scan available - click to view
Births Sep 1897 (>99%)
Bywater Lilian Maud Ashby Z. 7a 85 Scan available - click to view

So its possible the ship record you found could be them and Mary's age is down wrong

I'm not sure why you're speculating about births for Lilian

As is clearly shown in census records, she was Lilian ELSIE, as per my earlier post.

Your original message naming her as Lilian MARY was inaccurate

Hi Jacqueline,

Sorry abt the name on my first post don't know why I put Mary and not Elsie.

As for the births I was looking at was to see if their was any other Lilian that could be the one on the ship records that you found and to show that my Lilian was the only one born 1894.

I think I'll put this to bed until after Christmas now and then come back to it with a fresh mind.

Thank you for all your help and Merry Christmas.

I know you said you were leaving this for now but I found this so I have posted it:

If you open this link

http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=3180917&isAv=N

Once there - click on 'View digital copy' about half way up the page, over to the right on the lower green bar - this will open up what looks to be 53 pages of his records (I have only looked at the first few but they contain lots of personal detail).

Really interesting.................

ADDED: - He was discharged 26/10/17 and a couple of months earlier he gives his next of kin (previously brother John) as 'wife' Mrs. M.A Bywater, 11 Meddows St.., New Brighton, Liverpool.

Wow,

Thank you Chris and Dea,

That's brilliant didn't know abt those sites, on the last one that you gave Chris found Mary Ann's death in 1921 with right parents on so confirms the tree that Margee found.

I'm now going to read though the 53 pages of the record that Dea found.

Thank you sooooooooooo much you are stars :-D :-D :-D.

All the best
