Yes I think it would fit, and it does look like N/R rather than others on page for S/R (Southern Rhodesia?). And when he came back in 1954 he gave an address of c/o Nyasaland House - I'm pretty sure Nyasaland was part of Northern Rhodesia protectorate. |

I double checked the last passenger list that Elizabeth travelled on, and the country of intended furture residence is marked as N.R or that's what it looks like to me, would this be Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia? |

Does anyone know anywhere I can find out where missionaries were posted, as the husband of this lady was a missionary, I know she died in Africa but have no idea where so thought knowing where he was posted might help |

No, I can't find him coming back between 1948 and his departure alone in 1951 either. :-S |

That would be my guess though I haven't found him with or without her coming back after 1948 |

ok, if Thomas comes back to the Uk himself (if someone can find that) she has died in Kenya possibly |

She may have died in Africa, as I can't see a marriage for Thomas/Eileen in the UK they may have married there as well. The 1954 shows them coming back to UK as a couple, but there is no trace of them going out to Africa together prior to this. Just looks like they came back here for a visit. This looks like Eileen's death: |

Just need to locate Elizabeth now if Thomas did indeed die in Southampton |
