I have just found my father on the passenger list to Australia 1927 with date of arrival and name of ship; however he returned to England in the early 1930`s. I have just spent the last two hours searching the web for passenger lists to Southampton for this time period. Does anyone know of a good site except National Archives. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Elizabeth

Maria, I searched the National Archives of Australia - Passenger Report. It was under:http://naa12(.)naa.gov(.)au/scripts/Passenger Report(.)asp Remove the brackets. It took me ages to find it going from one page to the next. I think maybe I was lucky because although we have a common surname my father had a very unusual christian name so I knew it was him. The name of the ship, date of arrival and port of disembarkation was listed. I then "goggled" the ship name and found a photograph of it. Hope you have some luck. Peter, Thank you for the tip will try it out. Elizabeth
