Ship's Log

Post by Robyn »

Hello everyone and a happy new year.

I'm trying to find a ship's log for John Brelsford born 1905 in Bristol, Gloucestershire travelling from New Zealand to the UK. He would have been in New Zealand in or before 1934 and then returned to the UK. John had a warrant for his arrest for non payment of child support in NZ. The information was found in a NZ Police Gazette dated 1934. I know he returned to England because he's on the 1939 Census.

Can someone help please?
Thank you,
Robyn

I think this may be too recent to be available on any search. UK stuff usually has to be over 100 years old to be in a public database. I could be wrong though

Hello Gardener,

Thank you for your reply. Not sure if this is the case as I've seen British passenger lists much less than 100 years old. The individual died in the mid 1980's. I'll keep searching.
