Can anyone suggest which port they may have landed at, when they arrived in England, and also would that be the same port they would sail from on their return to South Africa. Would they have purchased a return ticket, and returned on the same boat on its next trip ?? Also, can anyone steer me to lists of passengers, who would have sailed back and forth during that time period. Can pretty well find the date they sailed, although I don't have the name of the boat, as his new wife gave birth to twin boys on the passage to England, and their births were registered at Middlesbrough, N. Yorks, after their arrival. On the return trip they had a small boy with them who they had picked up at Middlesbrough, N.Yorks and took back to South Africa to live with them. Am trying to discover who this boy was. How long would a trip ,one way , from South Africa to England have taken in those days ?? Thankyou, Pam in Arizona. --part1_147.aae0098.2b7fb712_boundary--
