Does anyone know howI can find out the ships that my grandparents were on when they travelled from England to Australia in what I think was the early 1920's?

If you give me their names I will have a look for you.

I can't find Reginald at the moment, Bob. Are you sure of the spelling.

Snap, Pam:-)

Sorry, cannot see a record for Reginald Frank Warby

I couldn't either, Pam. I've tried variations of the name Warby but nothing in that time frame comes up.

Sue

I think this is your Reginald Frank Warby, transcribed as R T Warby. On the 1911 census his occupation is given as *Cowmans help* which ties in with the occupation of this R T Warby, as does his age:
