Looking at the image for that 1931 arrival the name looks like Lola I on the image

Thanks everyone for the help but it is not the lady I am searching for. She was an Irish citizen

Shelley, we'd be able to help you if you could give us even a rough idea of when she might have been born - how old was she when you met her in the 60s?

Was Agnew a married or maiden name?

Shelley

Shelley Report 15 Mar 2016 19:03

I think she was probably born about late 1800's because she was a young woman when my Great Uncle visited her during WW1.

Shelley Report 15 Mar 2016 19:04

I think Agnew ws her maiden name
