Evening Linda
Just come across your response - the genforum e-mail notification has not been working for approaching a year now.
As Thelma has indicated, Find My Past does have such Ship's Manifests; but many are missing, without obvious explanation; and they stop in 1960.
We need some more definite information on (First) Names, hopefully they are unusual, as there are about 120 "Wee McGreegors" recrded as heading to Australia in the period 1945 to 1960 inclusive, in the likely age group, ie born 1950 +- 10 years; plus another 80 born 1935+-4 to cover that earlier period. Included in those totals are several with "Unknown" years of Birth.
Hence the need for more identifying information.
I have infrequently usedAustralian Arrivals Lists - these are generally but not always more complete, as for example it meant "extra mouths to feed" and accomodate.
But again, more idetifying information is needed.
Difficult to extract on SP as particularly it does not use the Mother's Maiden Name in its Search parameters; but these are given in the Search Index results, ie the one credit per page results.
If you have some idea of where any children were born, this will tend to reduce the quantity of results, the Credit cost and the tedium of viually searching through.
So dow what you can to get their names and some idea of where they were born.
---------------------------
Another approach is to go straight to the FMP Departure Lists; and VIEW the Scanned IMAGEs of the Manifests.
Some of these but far from all, have the Last UK Address and occasionally a sort of "next of kin" name - but don't take the last too literally.
But that could be expensive, unless you have a Subscrition of some sort.
