Hi! Does anyone have access to full Ancestry (or findmypast) passenger lists? I'm looking for any entries which would fit for the following:

William Lord Watts born 1850, England, died ?1921 Trinidad. I know he intended leaving New York for Trinidad in Jan 1920. A notice in the Los Angeles Times says that he was in Trinidad for a year, had just popped over to England and back to Trinidad, then died.
His wife Euphemia (or Effie, born abt 1855 Scotland) traveled with him and she returned alone to New York in Jan 1921, as a widow.

So, could anyone see if there is a record of them to or from Trinidad/England in 1920 or early 1921?

Hugely grateful for any help. It looks as though a Euphemia M Watts arrived in Southampton but I don't know if that is her or not.

OK, had some help with this and have now crossed these possibles out so as far as I'm concerned this can be deleted or archived or whatever :-)
Fast or what?
Thanks to the fairy who helped.
