Dear All, and Hello Caryl, many thanks for your prompt reply. I will ask the Liverpool Record Office for helping. Perhaps only for one Arrival/ Departure. Or maybe, a kind person of this list would read my first posting and could do me this big favour, having a lookup to the old newspapers. Pobably, only a dream!
