Hi There

A while ago I was told that my great grandparents emigrated to New Zealand aboard the SS Arawa leaving on 11 Dec 1925 departing from Southampton.

Their names are Clement Elisen JAMES, Lilian Georgina Jane JAMES and their sons Ronald, Kenneth and Harold.

I'm hoping some kind person will be able to find the complete passenger list for this sailing and email it to me as I now believe there were other relatives on the same ship with different surnames.

Appreciate your help :-)
Tracy

Mrs JAMES Page 6 of 17 View transcript
Harold JAMES Page 6 of 17 View transcript
Kenneth JAMES Page 6 of 17 View transcript
Ronald JAMES Page 6 of 17 View transcript


As the passenger list for that voyage is 17 pages long it would be a better idea if you gave details of the names so that they could be checked for you.

Thanks for your help Astra :-)

May I ask where you found this passenger list as I looked for ages through Ancestry and couldn't find it?

Would you please be able to email me a copy of just that page with Clement and family on it?

Cheers
Tracy

Yes I have thanks Ginny :-)

Located all the ER's they appear on after he emigrated to NZ.

Really wanted a copy of the passenger list they appeared on when they emigrated so I can attach it to my tree.

And if I know where to locate the whole passenger list it I can check for others myself hopefully.

I think Astra must have got that passenger list from FMP as they dont show on Ancestry

Find My Past :-)

Just wondering if it is also on this site now; They added some passenger list recently which you can pay to view. Brightsolid own both GR and FMP...which is were you are sent to if you look things up on GR.

Thanks DetEcTive :-)

Might see what options Find My Past have if some kind person here can't email me a copy of the passenger list page showing Clement and family.

I have to head out so will check in later.

Happy Hunting!! :-)
