What I mean is, will it show a home address, or next of kin or anything that may confirm that it is my one - or not? Regards and thanks, Tiger-Lily

Often the only info given is the surname with Mr/Mrs/Miss and there do seem to be a lot of young singles travelling aside from the commercial travellers. Addresses seem to be rare - the only one I have seen was clearly the boarding house used the day before embarking! If you do find a relative, it is nice to able to download the image direct (whereas BMD certificates hae to be ordered through the post).
