Hi Everyone Would someone please be able to advise me where to further search to verify that this gentleman is my husbands father. This person travelled on the 'ORSOVA' leaving from London in late 1922, the ship arrived in Melbourne, Australia on January 23 1923. He is shown on the passenger list as Mr. A. C. MILNE - 23 - Lamplighter [ I believe this was something to do with the lightships off the coast of England? I would very much like to find out what his initials stand for. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA. I've had no luck this end. Sue Western Australia
