	These are great records but some transcription errors. It pays to look at everything even if you think it is wrong. EG. I was looking for a Clayton family returning from Canada within a very narrow time scale of 1927-1930 I found this below, right name and age but wrong port of departure but I checked anyway. Mary Clayton Birth Date: abt 1927 Age: 3 Port of Departure: Karachi, Pakistan Arrival Date: 27 Aug 1930 Port of Arrival: Liverpool, England Ship Name: City of Salford Search Ship Database: View the 'City of Salford' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database Shipping Line: Hall Line Official Number: 143097 I found there were 3 images and the first page did refer to above ship leaving Karachi but the other 2 pages referred to 'Duchess of Bedford' leaving Montreal and eureka, there were my family with the address they went to in Huddersfield. Happy searching, Jennifer
