We have my wife's mothers passport showing a date of arrival in New York as 30 Jul 1949 but we are unable to find her on any passenger lists for that date.
A ship named Parthia seemed the most likely although we can only find crew registers. Ellis Island also does not return any results.
The link we are using to browse the passenger list is:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=7488Her name was Maeve Ita O'Donohue and she was Irish, born in 1922. She was not emigrating to the US, only working for a few years. Would she have bypassed Ellis Island then?
You should be able to see her full profile at
