Have found the two names I'm looking for on two different ships on 12th April 07 and 26th April 07, same ticket number but on both there is a line through the names and 'nob' written against them. Could this mean 'not on board'? Does anyone know?

It could mean that. When I've found passengers not on board, I've looked for later dates, and I've usually found them immigrating about one to four months later.

Thanks Lisa. These were only a fortnight apart and crossed out each time. I know they were there in 1909 but I haven't been able to find them on subsequent passenger lists. Another problem is that I think they used a different name even though other details were correct.
