On Find My Past, if I pay to search for a relative on a passanger ships list, what information can I hope to find please?
What I mean is, will it show a home address, or next of kin or anything that may confirm that it is my one - or not?
Regards and thanks,
Tiger-Lily

Hi Tiger-Lily,

The best one I found had mum dad and two kids travelling together with the ages of the children. Often the only info given is the surname with Mr/Mrs/Miss and there do seem to be a lot of young singles travelling aside from the commercial travellers. Addresses seem to be rare - the only one I have seen was clearly the boarding house used the day before embarking!

If you do find a relative, it is nice to able to download the image direct (whereas BMD certificates hae to be ordered through the post).
