Family travelling from England to Limasol in 1959 and returning to England in 1963

Family travelling from England to Limasol in 1959 and returning to England in 1963

Hello, can anyone assist please. I have a family who travelled from Southampton to Limasol in 1959 on the Troopship SS Dilwara. They returned from Limasol into Liverpool in 1963 on the Caledonian Star. Is there a site please where I can find a list of their travel?

If anyone has any ideas on this then I would be grateful if you could message me.

Kind regards


Kathryn

Got a similar family situation, forces wife and child travelling to and from the Mediterranean from England.

I know, from family knowledge, the dates of travel and the ship's name, it was the same ship on both voyages, and I've got the mother's passport and also her travel docs from the ship.

That ship was a troopship, although in peacetime it also carried a lot of unaccompanied forces dependents, and also civilian passengers.

At the time in question, early 1950's, it was on a regular route to and from the Far East via the Mediterranean.

Checked every passenger on the passenger manifest for the relevant voyages, also checked for name spelling variations, nothing, they aren't listed.

So, I can only conclude that forces dependents were listed separately on a forces manifest which hasn't been made publicly available, at least not on the internet.
