Hi,just wondering if someone could help me find the name of the ship my grandfather went to Canada,in 1920-21 and also where in Canada he was headed,he only stayed for one year,his name was Daniel Griffiths b. 08 Aug 1902, Ammanford Wales.
The only info my father has was that he went sometime when he was 18,my grandfather said he wanted to see the way of farming,we know he worked in a salt mine,but that's about all we know.
I know it's a big ask.
Any info would be appreciated.
Regards
gpaul

Certainly didn't stay long in Canada! Return on the Montnairn 3 Dec 1925 leaving Quebec City and arrived Liverpool. Occupation stated was miner, age 23, and the address given as his destination was the same as the one recorded in the following passenger list to Canada.
Leaving Liverpool and arriving Montreal 26 April 1925 on the Montcalm. Daniel Griffiths, 22, single, b. Ammanford Wales, passage paid by self, occupation farming, destination was the Canadian Government Office, 72 Front Street, Toronto, Ontario and closest British contact was father David Griffiths 97 Wind St. Ammanford South Wales.

Hi Debbie,
Wow! I didn't expect a response that quick,this is fantastic news,my father knew that he'd been a miner at a salt mine when he was there,and that was about it.
Thank You very much.
