VR Cherrett sailed on the ship Orcades to Port Said in 1937.
Her husband, FL Cherrett sailed to Port Said on the ship Corfu in the same year.

Can anyone tell me the dates of departures for the two ships please? I'm curious why they didn't travel together

Thanks so much George of Westbury - the infant is my husband who was born in May of that year which probably explains why they didn't travel together
