You could start your search for them at Ancestry.uk or Findmypast.co.uk as both sites hold shipping Records from about 1879-1965 from England to all the colonies and the USA. Findmypast allows you to purchase credits rather than having to subscribe. Unfortunately I do not have paid access to these sites at the moment, but I am sure someone on this site will be able to help .

A lot of people also recommended Facebook to trace living people. Might be worth a try. Cx.

Any migration would have been too late to be on line

Acknowledgement of the info already provided would be good
