I have found details of my grandfather on a passenger list sailing to the US early 1920 and know he returned to the UK about a year or so later - however I can't find any information on where to get passenger lists returning back to the UK from the US.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks

Hi
His name was Andrew Macfarlane and he originally sailed from Southampton in October 1923 on the Leviathon with final destination on the manifest as N.J or N.Y - Harrison. He was Scottish and listed as 'paroled' and returned to Paisley, Scotland so I suspect he would have sailed back to a Glasgow port

hi there Brenda,
Could you look up please a Annie Jenkinson and George coming back from USA know they went twice as i can find the records for that. Think she was born 1840ish. Know that in 1870 they went back, and he is listed as having dementia. If you can't don't worry.
thanks alot.
