Many thanks, Sue. I tried to find my man but didn't succeed. So either I am doing something wrong or .. . Perhaps his ship passenger list wasn't transcribed . . . ? Are there gaps in what has been transcribed? Or are there other ships, not on your list, that sailed from Scotland? Or the passenger lists are privately owned, ancestry.com, e.g.? The person I am looking for, Dugald Lawson, was a China missionary, b. 1861, Scotland. After retiring he seems to have gone with the government because he is a Capt. on the Passenger Declaration record I did find and had sailed on the Empress of Asia - Hong Kong/Yokohama/Vancouver, arr. 26 Apr 1920, in transit. It was from the Passenger Declaration of that voyage that I got the info I about the earlier trip. (This info was from ancestry.com) I don't belong to ancestry or findmypast, but I have access to ancestry at my library and will try again there. I can also order through InterLibraryLoan the film you suggest and read it.
