I think the ages given on most of these passenger records are approx.

Birth Date: abt 1904

Its possible he may have been 17 -18 -19 or older perhaps?

16 does sound young for an "Engineer"...but he may have been doing an apprentice?

I was puzzled by that Mr Whistler one


Age 16 ...... and an Engineer!???

Agree with Sylvia.

Enlargeing the actual passenger list of the intials it does appear to read A.R.Whistler.
42 Upperton Rd, Eastbourne.... Occupation: Army
Country of last permanent Residence: India
Port of Disembark : Liverpool Eng.


Only other i could see leaving Australia but arriving in London.

Most passenger ship that left Australian Ports would dock at India on there way through to the U.K ..via Cape of Good Hope

Australian history also tells us that most Convict Hulks that left the U.K would also (via Cape of Good Hope ) stop in India before arriving to Australia..

Hi Sylvia,

Thanks for looking the image up. For some strange reason I couldn't view it but my internet seems to be playing up.

Looking at the actual image for that record that Gai found:-

it might possibly actually be A R Whistler

Address:- 42 Upperton Rd, Eastbourne

Profession:- Army


looks like he's a soldier (???Indian Army or British Army), returning home


but it does look more like R than H

Hi Patricia,

I found this on ancestry but I'm not sure if it's your Albert. Do you know what year he was born as I can't seem to find him leaving Australia.

I will keep looking.

Hi Patricia.

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/stories/214.htm

The UK incoming passenger lists for 1878 to 1960 (series BT 26) have been launched online by Ancestry.co.uk.

The passenger lists are for people arriving in the United Kingdom from ports outside of Europe and the Mediterranean and may include: name of passenger, their birth date or age, port of departure, port of arrival, date of arrival and vessel name. It is free to search the website, but there is a charge for viewing the full entry and downloading images of the passenger lists.

Or.... you could add the names of the people you are searching for, and someone with ( Ancestry )could check for you.
