Please can I request a look-up for the following person on the Incoming Passenger List UK, it would help solve a family mystery for my cousin, this was her father.

Trevor Barnes born 12.8.1939 England, went to Canada. Sailed from Liverpool in 1956. (he has a middle name, George, if that helps).

Came back to the UK from Canada, disembarked Liverpool, sometime between 1957 and 1960. I am trying to pinpoint the year, any other info would be fab too.

many thanks in advance, Teresa

the difficulty I'm having may be due to the fact that the incoming passenger lists on ancestry only go up to 1960.
