Hi Prickles

Does say 'accompanied by Frances' but the image is not good.

Can send an image if you PM email.

Andy

Please would someone be so kind as to check the image of the 1952 passenger's list that Malyon posted.

Is the wife Frances actually travelling with William James?

If so, does it give any details about her?

It states......."Photogragh Included"........Is there actually a photogragh attached to that record?

Thank you.......Prickles.

Yes i have Safc.....i will take a look thank you.

Thank you for posting the 1952 passenger's list Malyon......much appreciated.
